See the Coastline. If you can, get a chance to see some of the coastline, nature in and around the area. Lots of small manageable walks and hikes, as well as those for the more adventurous.
Meet the Locals. Be prepared to be referred to with terms such as “me darlin’, me duckie, me love” maybe even “me old trout” – and that’s just from the cashier at the coffee shop! This is a place of storytellers.
