Great place to bring beach chairs and work on your tan. Brisk, but great swimming at high tide. Next to Kits, our favorite beach. 7 minute drive away.

Great spot to rent stand-up paddles etc. There's also a beach front restaurant with amazing views. The food is expensive for burgs and natchos but so worth going for a beer and taking in the views.

Main Street is where you go to buy vinyl records, unique or vintage clothing items and there's countless great hipster spots and micro breweries. Anything north of King Edward is worth a stroll.
