Ukuhamba-hamba
Everything is walkable from the ChaHo!
The beach is a 3 min walk straight down Howard St, however for a sandier entrance we like to go to Glass St beach, just a few streets over. Main Street is 100 metres away - be sure to spend some time wandering the Main Street and exploring the stores and restaurants.

Friday Farmers Market
Every Friday (summer/fall) there is a farmers market in the park with all sorts of fresh and prepared foods and flowers. Worth the visit!
