Very quiet, definitely need to hire a car to get about and see the sights

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

When we visited access to the marina was limited and unfortunately all the shops and restaurants were closed. Fortunately the restaurants at the hotel where we were staying at were great. As we were out for most of the days we had lunch out.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Recommend a hire car. Parking for the beach is limited.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

use google Maps, it's much more reliable than the navigation of the rental car walk the 25 fontes walk and start with the 800m tunnel, it's fun and very Special
