A pretty town directly on the beach with lots of Art Deco buildings. Free bus from port to the visitors center where they have free maps and advice on what to see.

Great place to visit, buses took us to the centre almost and it is a great place to wander about very Art Deco and lovely shops and cafe's to check out. ...
