‘Downtown the Mount,’ with its palm trees and relaxed air, is the sort of boutique-shopping-by-the-beach you’d expect from a holiday mecca, where swimwear is normal street attire in summer. Visit the Mount Mainstreet office beside the central car park and ask for the Mount Shopping and Visitor Guide that has an easy to read map.
