Bicycle Rental
Along the waterfront, north of the Terrado (and past the Yacht Club ) are the fishing docks and seafood market.
There is a sidewalk umbrella kiosk which is rumored to rent bikes and helmets according to the locals
Open-Air Market
There is an open-air (and also indoor farmers/meats/restaurants market) at the top of the hill on Calle Maipú (the Shell gas station, across from the Mall) and Calle Matta (top of the pedestrian street)  Mostly odds & ends, some leather work, hats, T-shirts.  No artesan wares or native trinkets that I could find.
