Description

The harbor here splits in two: one side holds the boats and marina, the other a park with benches for taking in the view. Winter walks along the boardwalk come with ferry crossings and, during the holidays, an energetic festive atmosphere with indoor craft markets. The waterfront setting earns consistent praise for its scenery and family-friendly mood, even if ferry lines and nearby food prices draw occasional grumbles. Public art and cultural events add layers to what is essentially a relaxing lakeside escape. It's a spot that works for both locals and visitors, whether you're after a peaceful stroll or a few hours of unwinding by the water.
