The New Harbour is a 10 minute stroll away from where sunset cruises depart every evening. Also in the New Harbour are 3 restaurants to choose from. To visit the town centre you have a choice between a 2 minute trip by car OR a 25 minute walk along the very popular cliff path. The Old Harbour offers all sorts of interesting shops and museums to visit. Art shops and top class restaurants are scattered throughout the town.
