This old fort stands right by the sea and was built in the 17th century to protect the coast from pirates and invaders. It’s got thick stone walls, a cool drawbridge, and a small chapel inside. The place is most popular for its epic views over the beach and the river mouth. You can walk around the ramparts and imagine what it was like when soldiers used to keep watch here.
