What visitors say
Coffee inside with wiev from window to sea, with binoculars ready on the every window. Just to enjoy that moment

Upstairs you can find a really lovely interactive one room museum. I definitely recommend checking it out. There is no entry fee. If you enjoy the museum the can support it by having a drink or meal in the café downstairs or donate some money to the staff.
