Beyond the sand, the coastline is excellent for those who enjoy a bit of light activity. Many visitors spend their mornings strolling along the promenades or engaging in watersports. The atmosphere is generally laid-back, providing a welcome change of pace from the hectic schedule of daily life back in the UK.
