A small church with it's bell ding-a-linging all day. The church is in a pleasant location down at the sea-water edge. Inside it has a stunning painted ceiling and walls. Really worth a visit . A lovely well tended graveyard, next door is a picture. Next to the graveyard is a very large out-door swimming pool with a bar/coffee etc.
