City advice
Getting around
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.
Getting around
Groceries and Alcohol
On the south end of town on the highway, there is a well stocked grocery store as well as LCBO in the same parking lot.
Don't miss
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!
