I am sure it is not blue skies all year. But it was an amazing place for peace and tranquility.

There were a lot of jelly fish on the beach. This one was about 18 inches in diameter.

The cottages were down in a dip presumably to offer some protection from the gales.

On this visit the tide was much higher and there were more boats tied up.

I am sure it is not quite so tranquil in mid winter with a strong sea! However, on our visit it was a very relaxing place to walk around.

I would imaging that a hundred years ago or more this would have been quite a bust little fishing port.
