Today, this charming coastal town offers fascinating volcanic ruins, museums detailing its dramatic history, and stunning views of the still-active volcano. Visitors can explore archaeological sites, enjoy black sand beaches, and experience authentic Creole culture in this resilient city that has risen from the ashes.
