Beaches

Don't forget to bring surf shoes so you can paddle (they sell them in the local shop). Great coffee shop on the beach and a lobster shack. UNESCO world heritage site. There is no signal on the cove so if you walk down separately, make sure to bear that in mind.

The world's finest collection of tanks. It is well worth a visit on a rainy day with loads to see and great for families. Book in advance and leave at least 2 hours to wonder around. There is also a soft play in the middle (although it was closed when we last went due to Covid).

We sometimes take a picnic up on the hill or a sundowner and look out onto the cove. It was lovely and peaceful and you will have some resident wild horses to keep you company.
