African arts and crafts. Very touristy. Watch out for pickpockets and the odd drug dealer trying to sell you weed. Lots of spots to eat and drink all around the square, as well as secure banking.

Everyone who lives in or near Seapoint goes for a walk, run, swim or cycle here at some point of the day. Walk around to Clifton, or back to town via Greenpoint Park and the fanwalk.

Our version of Central Park. Squirrels, birds, trees and a couple of ponds - great for an afternoon escape if one is needed. (Check out the new Co Gardens restaurant (Madam Zingara's crowd).
