Shells by the thousand, captain’s caps, T-shirts, beach gear, hand-made gifts, fashion jewellery and sea-art curios are on sale; plus whacky Republic of Hout Bay passports with a boatload of special offers. Most items are themed to the Wharf’s harbourside ambience, including flotsam and jetsam from local trawlers and lobster boats, and are memorable mementos of a wonderful place.
