Spend an unhurried morning on the village's working beach — fishermen hauling nets, the white wooden church, and a swim right off the pier.
What to expect
You'll find small wooden fishing boats pulled up on the sand, a handful of shaded beach restaurants, and locals swimming alongside visitors. The church at the top of the beach and its short pier make an iconic, low-key photo without any queue.
Good to know
Arrive before 10am for the calmest water and to watch the fishermen return with the morning's catch; grab lunch at one of the small creole shacks right on the sand.
