This family's experience:

Activities: We wanted to go to the lighthouse, but it was closed. We then went to the beach and followed a path that winds through the village and continues on the beach under walkways

Highlights: We were attracted by a strange structure at the edge of the water. We quickly found a marked path that winds through the village before continuing on the beach as walkways. Too good! ✨
