The Marina

Known for being upmarket, the port area is a very picturesque location in which to sit and enjoy a tasty bite to eat or grab a refreshing ice cream and marvel at the opulent boats proudly sitting moored in the harbour. All sorts of travellers can enjoy walking along the small shopping street that winds around the harbour while they check out each of the 200 stores, including stylish boutiques such as the wonderful Kenrod, Bitacora, Regalia, and Zerimar which have all taken up residence here. If you continue along the harbour you will come to the beach area, loved by sun kissed tourists who also delight in holiday shopping.
