Marelle's Underwater World Museum, also listed online as Marelle's Seashell Museum, is a museum with a gift shop and a restaurant and bar on the island's circumferential road in San Juan. Online listings describe displays on Siquijor's fishing culture, with catamaran-type fishing boats, nets, charts and maps, alongside seashells, corals and crabs.
In the photos, a blue-walled hall holds framed stamp collections labelled Oceania, United Nations and Marine Life above tables of shell bracelets, beads and round shell globes. Shell-bead and pearl-like necklaces hang on black and white display busts, with ceiling fans overhead. The gift shop is reported to sell mother-of-pearl items. The one restaurant photo shows grilled prawns with potato salad, tomato and cucumber. Museum entry is reported to be free with a meal at the restaurant.
Good to know: The three photos date from 2024 and 2026; none shows the building from outside, the sign or the fishing boats and nets. Opening hours and any charges should be confirmed locally, as online listings are not official.
