Recommed to wear hikimg shoes. Trail at some places is a bit difficult to walk. However it is totally worth. I recommend go back by the ocean because we tried to pass through local yard. Unfortunately the owner were not happy.

Capelas Seawater Pool

If you are looking to cool off, this is the right place. The seawater swimming pool is beautifully located and well protected from the waves.

Ruins of the Old Whale Factory

Highlight • Historical Site

This former whaling factory is located directly on the harbor basin. The whales caught were processed here in the past. What can still be seen is the chimney and remains of the wall.
