Incredible place, the views are spectacular by bus. I can't take the ferry because of the weather. You have to be patient going from town to town.

The color of the sea water is soothing. The houses clustered on the hill stimulate a rich sense of emotion.

I didn't really get the big "wow" around this beach. It's definitely a beautiful spot, and the surrounding houses are interesting and add to the vibe. We didn't eat here, but it looked like there were some good food options. That said, none of it really felt worth the crazy, winding drive-just to end up stuck in traffic and pay a fortune for parking.
