💡 Donation box on desk; £2-3 is fair. Climb the Clock House stairs for a free view over the harbour—staff usually let you if you ask politely.
💡 The Sunday band concerts run from June to August, 2-4pm. Arrive early for bench space—locals fill them fast. Good wind shelter behind the bandstand.
💡 The Viking ship (Hugin) is a replica of a 9th-century longboat. Walk the boardwalk at low tide for mudflat birdlife. Parking fills early Sunday mornings.
💡 Book ahead on summer weekends—they sell out. The self-guided audio tour is cheapest.
