Stroll cobblestone streets to discover unique shopping, antique stores, and frequent festivals or farmers’ markets; visit museums, historic homes, and theaters; and sample local cuisine at charming cafés and waterfront eateries. Staying near the Strand gives guests a blend of culture, nightlife, and easy walking access to harbor views and guided tours.
