  • A Budget-Friendly Day Out

A full day that costs almost nothing: a free beach, a free landmark, and a browse through the farmers market.

Full description

Everything on this route is free to visit or costs next to nothing: the lighthouse square, the city beach, and a wander through the farmers market for cheap, genuinely good produce and a feel for everyday local life rather than the tourist strip.

It's proof that a full, satisfying day here doesn't need a car, a booking, or much of a budget — just good walking shoes and a willingness to linger rather than rush between sights.
