Shopping in Downtown Nassau, Bahamas

Straw Market

Open 9:00am - 5:00pm

Duty-free deals can be had for local souvenirs.  Not all items are local though so be sure to look for "Made in China" stickers on the items you may want to buy.  ALWAYS NEGOTIATE and shop around!  There are no set prices and most shops sell the same things.  Be sure to also walk around the outside of the Market as there are often local craftsmen making handmade art and wood carvings that are definitely one of a kind.


Bay Street

High end items can be found from the stores on Bay Street as well as low end souvenir and T-shirt shops.  Overall it has a little something for everyone and is Duty-free.  Back in 1992, the Bahamian government took away the import duty on a huge range of luxury goods including watches, jewelry, liquor, cameras, china, fragrances and more. Now you can save an average of 25-35% on a variety of items.  Nassau shops that post a pink flamingo decal have some of the best bargains is to look for.  The pink flamingo signifies they’ve met strict government guidelines and all the brands they sell are authentic.
