A great way to spend an afternoon is to wander the streets and shops near the pier. The shops are quaint, and the streets are laid out in an ideal way for a casual stroll. Various restaurants are around at different price levels, and the occasional art gallery is a fun stop, too. Then, head out to the pier to see the water and eat at one of the many seafood establishments in the main pier building. Taxis can be found in and around the entire area, including the pier, if you need to get out to the gulf side of the city to the beach.
