A very fine place, off season. No brats and mostly older folks sauntering about the town square. Lots of cute shoppes full of mostly junk. The nice thing about the junk is that the stores mostly do not have the same junk, so the junk variety is less boring than most places.
Also fine eating sans crowds. We especially enjoyed Louisa's, best described as eclectic. And delicious!
The coolest thing I found was the quaint architecture which makes San Francisco's "painted ladies" well below first place.
Also lots of new mcmansions along the shore line which remind one of the Jersey shore's "Irish Riviera" (also known as Avalon). Sad to see this here but that's the way it is.
One of my favorite items down here is the carcass of a concrete ship, the
Atlantis. It seems that during the First World War there was an effort to build ships from concrete. Quite a few were built and actually used. One sank at the tip of the cape and is still visible today. Some years ago I bought a sort of book about them. They were, and at least one still is, real.
