In order to preserve its unspoilt charm, property owners have resisted the temptation to commercialise Brenton on Sea, and therefore only one small shop/restaurant is to be found in the village.  The influx of visitors during the holiday season seem quite content to leave the bulk of their shopping to periodic visits to either Knysna, or occasionally to George.
