One person wrote: "The beaches are lovely and clean, surfers were out for the spring tide, weather lovely. The little shops, cafes, lifeboat Station, and maritime museum are all worth a visit. Even the village is peaceful and there are a variety of places to eat/drink or get a takeaway. Not a lively seaside village but that's the way we like it."
