The waterfront has small walkways leading down to compact size, sand and shingle beaches the pretty historic harbour lined is with steep streets.
The place was popular in Victorian times when the well to do came to bathe in the tidal pools. Today these are still popular as the tunnelsbeaches, along with the crazy golf and usual tourist attractions. Along the promenade you will find tourist shops as well as formal gardens, there are now many smart and chic places to eat and stay.
The medieval chapel to St Nicholas the patron saint of sailors stands on a rock at the harbour entrance.
