Stromness is defined by its coastal location; the busy harbourside lays home to many visitors and locals, enjoying an ice cream or cup of coffee whilst gazing out across the endlessly blue horizon. Only one street winds and bends throughout the collection of cafes and shops, changing its name as it passes another crevasse in the town centre. A community feel embodies the entire town, welcoming tourists into its quaint streets and keeping them there with the abundance of features. Residing on the shoreline of a small island can suggest a sleepy atmosphere of a town that remains mostly dormant, but Stromness is a buzzing hub of activity, hosting students, festival-goers and workers who enjoy the array of attractions. For a touch of culture, St Pier Arts Centre showcases the work of local artists and sculptors, whilst the museum offers an insight into the history of the island of Orkney.
Most choose to travel by foot, considering the compact nature of the town.
