💡 Tips

Wind conditions on the coast can be brisk; a windbreaker is recommended for beach walks year-round.
Parking near the village beaches is usually free, but check the signs for time limits during peak summer weekends.
For the calmest water and fewest crowds, visit the coastal stretches early in the morning.
Bring your own reusable bags when shopping for groceries in the village, as plastic bags incur a fee.
