Local Tips
Public transport covers most of the town, but walking is ideal for sightseeing along the coast. Metered parking fills up quickly near the beaches in summer, come early if driving.

Petty theft is rare but watch valuables on crowded beaches and at night in the South Bay. Stick to main areas after dark; avoid walking alone on the cliffs late at night.
