Yes because it's protected by the rocks from the wind, it's still full on marine life and also calmish on a very windy day. Beautiful place.

Very basic around here if not inside a hotel complex. Nwhere to go on a night time - as in walking around pubs. But a lot of cafes and tourist mini train rolls around the streets. Go to the Markato area for shops, coffe and McDonalds.
