Nowadays the town is a fashionable yachting centre but traditional boatbuilding crafts are still carried on in the town and the museum houses an impressive collection of tools that tell the story of these maritime trades.
Finally don't miss the sea-bed treasures recovered by divers from the hundreds of shipwrecks that line the coast.
