Sightseeing
Spectacular. Named by sailors for the smell of the moose meat being smoked by the handful of settlers. A couple of good seafood places to eat at, and free public Wifi.

Oshan Whale Watching! Really great! Even if you don't spot a whale (unlikely), the scenery (sheer cliffs, green valleys) is simply stunning. After your first trip, all of your next ones are FREE!
