End the evening at the only real pub in the city. It is just a two-minute walk back toward the center. The atmosphere is lively with a mix of people, and hot food is available if you are still hungry.
Local tip
The beach gets very busy on sunny days in the summer, so arrive early to secure a good spot. The deli closes at 16:00, so do not delay your snack stop.
