Solo travel experience

The old town was great, very walkable, and had some excellent restaurants. I took the ferry to the island and went to the beach, it was beautiful. Also took a day and went to Marinha Beach and did a cave and dolphin tour on the fast boats. So fun and the caves were beautiful.
