Seafood restaurants serve fresh Gulf catches in historic Victorian buildings, while pubs offer casual fare with harbour views. Choose between charming bed & breakfasts in converted mansions or boutique hotels with ornate period furnishings. The compact six-block area is perfect for walking, with the waterfront just three streets away.
