In a charming village by the sea,
You'll find treasures for you and me.
A cozy spot for furry friends,
Music's magic never ends.
Socks, stones, and olive oil rare,
Skates and tides can take you anywhere.
Gifts that sparkle, shine, or play,
Cards and threads to brighten your day.
From sunny vibes to fashion’s flare,
Explore each shop, there's much to share.
Guess the place, a shopper's dream,
Where coastal charm is the gleam!
Spend the Whole Day in the Village
Public parking is plentiful in the Village, and the beach is only two blocks away. Discover and support the many casual and fine dining establishments as well as boutiques, salons, and galleries all day long!
