Straw Market

Nassau


Fronted by touts directing the cruise-ship crowds inside, this frenetic market has long been the go-to place for knock-off purses, souvenir T-shirts, and cheap, made-in-China straw goods. It's tacky and fun for a browse, but can't rival Festival Place at Prince George Wharf for Bahamian-made products and straw goods.
