Beauty. I have a photo from nearly that same location from when I visited in 2009.

There are some great views along the Coastal Walk.

Feels a little surreal seeing pics from my old hometown on the fediverse.

What was it like living there?

[–] Dubman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Honestly great. Plenty of beaches and lovely weather. I'd still live there if it weren't for my work and family.

Nowadays though, the town seems to be getting a bit too big for itself. I still visit very few months and every time it feels less like a quiet beach town. It feels like the the main roads are frequently congested and wider than ever.

Maybe that's just me and my nostalgia for how it used to be...
