2. Visit an authentic farmer's market

On the first and third Saturday of each month, the picturesque village square is transformed into a lively market. Local farmers proudly sell seasonal fruit and vegetables, alongside artisan products such as bread and cheese. It is the ideal place for a leisurely stroll and a chat with the locals.

3. Enjoy the tranquillity at Pea Soup Beach

With its calm waters, soft sand and peaceful atmosphere, Pea Soup Beach is a favourite with both locals and visitors. Its name comes from the thick fog that sometimes drifts over the ocean, giving the beach a mysterious feel.

It is the perfect place to relax in the sunshine, swim, surf, kayak or try paddleboarding.
