Helpfulness
Wooden animals, gemstone eggs, beadwork - the usual curios that you find elsewhere on the peninsula. But it is such fun to meander past the tables, pop into some of the coffee shops, and view the ocean at the same time.
What to pay: Small wooden animals for our Xmas tree cost us under R10; gemstone eggs with a kitsch CT carving cost us R20. The perfect place to spend small change or pocket money.
