It is set at the mouth of the River Pol, which flows beside the road down into the village and out into the harbour. The village benefits from having narrow roads and restricted traffic, making it safe for wandering around and enjoying the peace and tranquility.

There is a large public carpark at the top of the village, and it is then a short walk (750 metres) to the harbour. During the summer season a horse-drawn cart or mini tram ferries visitors to and from the village for a small charge.
