Our sparkling waters, white sandy beaches, rocky shores and unique mountain backdrop offer something for everyone. There are safe swimming beaches and sheltered tidal pools, thundering waves and world-class surf spots. We have sunshine - lots of it - the whole year round, even in winter when warm and windless blue-sky days often stretch into weeks between brief, wild storms. When the summer trade winds blow, you can always find a sheltered spot to catch a suntan; in autumn and winter the Southern Right and Humpback whales visit…watch their antics as you breakfast on the deck.
