Stroll the waterfront promenade, watch fishing boats return with the day's catch, or browse boutique shops filled with coastal treasures. Fresh seafood dominates local menus with outdoor seating perfect for sunset views over the water. The village itself is wonderfully walkable, though renting a golf cart makes exploring the whole island a breeze. When evening falls, kick back with live music and craft cocktails at relaxed waterfront bars.
