 Ad for shop in Port Lucaya by grandmaR
You have to look carefully at the labels though to avoid buying stuff that's made in China or Mexico or Thailand. (If you want something that's made in Mexico there's no reason not to buy it - just be aware that it's not a local product.)
The photo is from the map of Grand Bahama which has ads for various businesses. This photo is of a business called "animale"
There are also shops along Bay Street in Nassau which sell local products Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftPhone: 242-351-7197

Most of the shopping activity in Nassau takes place on Bay Street, the city's main thoroughfare.
The most popular tourist attraction is the Straw Market, which is a good place to buy baskets and other arts and crafts made of straw, as well as other cheap souvenirs of the islands.
Many very expensive boutiques also line Bay Street, and offer such luxuries as designer clothing, jewelry, antiques, and works of fine art.
Another popular type of store features Cuban cigars. Cuban goods, including cigars, are forbidden in the United States, so many visiting Americans are willing to pay for over-priced Cuban cigars from one of the many tobacco shops lining Bay Street.
I am not much of a shopper, but it was fun to wander along Bay Street to look at some of the merchandise available for sale. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Straw Bags of all sizes by Waalewiener
It is always fun to bargain with the local vendors, and try to make your best deal.
The Sraw Market is a fun place to , if you like shopping and can take the crowds.
T- Shirts and Straw bags were our favorites items.
As I mentioned earlier think about what you think the item is worth and than haggle with the vendors , they are used to,it and it can be fun. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Located between main street & the harbour.Directions: Off the boat just walk towards the downtown area ,you cannot miss it , there are signs everywhere.

Make sure you check out the straw market. Its a great, just don't do it while smoking! Sadly it has gone up in flames before.
I bought a coin purse that said 'Bahamas' on it. They have everything from hats to purses.
Very little, I think I only spent a few US dollars. Leave a Comment

They sell all sorts of items at this marketplace. But make sure you bring pic ID, it is also the new check in and check out point when you get off of a cruise as it is right off the pier where they dock. Its sad that when I went the first time, this was not part of the security measures that are taken now. That was pre 9/11. You also have to check in whatever you buy on board ship, as at the airport, past security conveyor belt.
Most of the shops have this Coconut Rum, be warn, most everyone you give it to will love it. They sell it in many different flavors, but coconut seem to be the fav, so buy extra.
If you have freinds who love spicy food, pick up several bottles of their spicy hot sauce at the market off the pier after you dock. Great bargains. It wasn't there the first time I went, but they've turn it into quite a shopping mall
I didn't pay much for the rums, I think maybe $3 and change for the ints and $5 for the bigger bottles. The hot sauces were $2 and change. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftDirections: Right off the pier and you disembark from the ship and pass security.
