  • Bay Street is where all the main shopping stores are. You will find everything along this street from jewelry to junk shops. There is a large varity of high end stores such as Luis Vuitton, Cartier, Coach , etc. If you do your homework ahead of time you will find some bargains to be had but most of the things for sale seemed like overpriced junk or were the same price or cheaper at home.

    I really loved the things at this shop which were all made locally in the Bahamas, and many of which were not too expensive.

    Conch shell jewelry - ranged from $5.95 to $13.95

    Small prints by Bahamian artists of local scenery - from $23-$25

    Stuffed toys (I got an octapus and a sea horse for my granddaughters) about $20

    Post cards - 55 cents each.

    Super Value Food Stores, Ltd: Grocery Store

    In addition to the City Markets, Super Value Food Stores is another good grocery store chain on New Providence Island.

    After we came back to get the boat, which was in Coral Harbour, Nick took us and dropped us off at one of these grocery stores. (Coral Harbour is very isolated with no services that can be walked to)

    They had green island grown tomatoes which were way cheaper than the red ones imported from the US - you just have to ripen them in a brown paper bag and if you can wait a day or so, they are just as good as (or better than) the ones that are already red.

    In addition to the one in Cable Beach, there's one on East Street (325-5844)

    Bob did more provisioning here

    There is a very convenient mall on the east end of Bay Street. Among other stores there is a very nice supermarket (City Market, PO Box N3738, Nassau 242-393-6060) which is part of the Winn-Dixie chain, but which is called a City Market in Nassau.

    There is also a Lowes Pharmacy (393-4813), a Bed Bath and Home (393-4440), an internet cafe/bookstore, a Subway and a Dairy Queen.

    We got some measuring spoons from the galley at Bed Bath and Home. Bob did major re-provisioning at the City Market.

    Then we had lunch at the Subway, and bought two Blizzards at Dairy Queen for dessert. The Blizzards were $2.95.

    This shop has some interesting things to buy, but the main reason I came here was to use the internet cafe. I bought most of my souveniers at Island Tings

    T-shirts, post cards and computer time.

    They will let you use the computers for 10 cents a minute even if you don't bring in the ad.

    This isn't a shop, but downtown Nassau offers a variety of shops from the very best to the very worst. It seemed one jewl;er cum art dealer named Solomon's Mines was very prevalent, but Gucci is there was well. You have Subway and other fast food, as well as souvenier shops and everything in between.

    I genrally found that some of the stores with closed doors offered some of the better merchandise. This place shown here was pretty cool, and sold imports, mostly from Africa, but also some local stuff.

    Except for alcohol and duty free, expect to pay more or about the same as in shopping galleries in most typical urban areas.

    Straw Market

    It'a a HUGE Tarp. With tons of Baskets, T-Shirts, Towels, purses, shells and lots of other stuff from China. Nothing other than a few basket weavers are even made from there. I did get a big Star Fish shell to bring home.

    You can't leave without getting T-Shirts, But don't pay much for them. I got 3 for $10.00. My sister got 2 Beach towels for $9.00. This is NOT a place for the faint of heart and SUCKERS!!

    Around $10-20.00 is the least.

    There are all types of discounted beer and liquor shops throughout the downtown and port area selling spirits MUCH cheaper than in the states. Again, I have found better selection and prices on other carribean islands, but, don't forget to try out the rums produced in Nassua.

    I loved Nassau Royal liquor, it was smooth with a hint of Vanilla, it is actually produced by Bacardi.

    16.95- Litre of CrownRoyal, 13.95- Litre of Nassau Royal

    Local, small shop with very friendly people who will sell you conch shells for miniscule fractions of the cost at the Straw Market or other vendors in the city.

    Conch Shells; with or without the whole cleansing process. You can learn how to clean them yourself when you get home, too.

    Jason gave me 6 of his own shells, all stunningly beautiful and asked for $5 after I insisted on paying him. You do what you feel is right.

    This is an outdoor market of over 100 vendors of straw products and more. You can get anything from t-shirts to little statuettes made of coconut shells in this place. Be sure to bargain, bargain, bargain! Don't let them charge you too much for something that is worth half the demaded value!

    Straw goods, make sure that you see the women making more things at their stands. That helps you know that their products are authentic and not made somewhere else. There are Fouis-Vuitton bags here and other things one may be interested in buying. Hand-carved wooden pieces and shell jewelery are all available here in this oversized claustrophobic people-oven. Be sure to go in the morning before the cruise ships let out the tourists.

    Anything from my $3 straw fan to a $10 wooden sculpture to a $25 purse.
