Many of the old bungalows have been torn down and in their place are typically three and a half story apartment blocks, with large overhanging balconies. Building has extended from the eastern outskirts along Antonia Sousa beach, favourite of windsurfers. Hotels have also been converted into apartment blocks, or built on land alongside or behind.
