It's enjoyable to unwind while observing the boats, especially during low tide when children are having fun in the water. Our initial visit was a positive experience, but the parking fee was quite steep. We only stayed for a couple of hours. There's a nearby restaurant, but it requires a reservation made 15 days in advance.
