No visit would be complete without a trip to the beach. Stroll, sunbathe or swim – whichever takes your fancy. Make sure to visit the pier before you leave.
A short walk away from the beach lies this gorgeous park. Walk the dog and enjoy the wildlife in this sub-tropical garden.
Immerse yourself in local history with a trip to this small but fun-packed museum.
