A seafront pedestrian promenade provides a beautiful setting for a pleasant stroll. The little harbour has a slipway for small boats, a clean pebble beach for swimming and snorkelling, and nearby beach-bar. The next village Calheta (5 min. drive) has a busy marina, a sandy bathing beach, shops, supermarket and several more restaurants. Whale and dolphin watching or fishing excursions can be arranged from Calheta. A hire car is virtually essential as the village is not a tourist centre and has minimal public transport. Some of the island's finest scenery and walking are within a 20 minute drive into the mountains.
