The Atlantic Ocean beach is the key entertainment on this beautiful island, but its history is also extraordinary, it having been a major whaling port in the 19th Century. Many homes and business buildings date to that era. It's also an artists' colony and a splendid place to sail and fish. It's got many tennis courts, two public golf courses, and miles of cycling trails. Just walking in the village and breathing the ocean air can suffice.
