Watch the colourful boats land their catches, perhaps have some cockles or whelks off the stalls, maybe some oysters and a glass of wine from the Harbour cafe while watching the world go by!
Stroll along to the harbour stalls and pick up some local art or a crabbing line and try your luck from the harbour wall!
Sadly the fishmonger on the harbour doesn’t sell locally caught fish. Contact me for days when local fishermen sell direct!
