Use the pre-booked Club Cars to get around as they were better than Uber but not as expensive as cabs.

You need to walk to find the different areas and to the area where there are more restaurants in the town and also to the wharf area which was a surprise when i got there. Perhaps this could be mentioned to fellow travelers.
