Westpunt’s church and fishing beaches

Why go

This is a slow coastal day for visitors already arriving in Westpunt, with three nearby stops and ample time beside the water. Saint Peter’s Church, Westpunt, introduces the village through its gable and arched windows; view the exterior respectfully and arrange any interior visit separately. Continue to the working fishing beach at Playa Piskado before settling at Playa Forti. Swimming is a choice, not a requirement, and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Playa Forti has little shade and a steep ramp and steps down to the beach, so consider the descent before committing. Bring water and make room for long rests.
