Well curated little museum and historical site with included guided tour from friendly, knowledgeable staff. Probs half to one hour visit. Cheap entry (so good to top up with a tip for the staff!)

Cute little Museum. You can feel the weight of a rifle and a cannonball.

Theres a beautiful chill spot Just in front of the museum. Forgot the name of beach but its easy to miss.. Just google Martello museum.. And youll find it. Never got the time to visit the museum but it looked quite interesting from the outside.. It closes at 5..
