Salt on your skin. A sail on the horizon.
The village’s fishing heritage still belongs in its story, alongside today’s marinas and restaurants. The lagoon links the island’s two sides, while the ocean-facing beach offers another mood entirely. Pick one shoreline for a slow wander, or use the area as a starting point for an outing on the water. When evening arrives, choose a table first and let the rest of the night follow. Allow flexibility around road traffic and boat departures.
