Food scene
A recently restored Harbour Arm with a champagne bar in the lighthouse at the end! Breathing new life into this once old British Railway dock, you now find eateries, market stalls and live music. Slightly quieter out of season but worth a visit. Great for sunsets and champagne! At the foot of the Harbour Arm is 'Rocksalt', a renowned restaurant, booking in advance is required!
