5 Best Shopping in The Abacos, Bahamas

Here you'll find a wide selection of souvenirs, beach wraps, T-shirts, arts and crafts, and Cuban cigars.

The Dive Guana shop has everything you need for your beaching and boating vacation—sunscreen, hats, shirts, and snorkel gear, as well as a variety of souvenirs, including locally made straw bags and ceramics.

This shop is on the upper-path road in a renovated Loyalist home. Come here for such Bahamian gifts as batik clothes, original driftwood carvings and prints, and nautical jewelry. They even sell the brightly colored Androsia fabric by the yard. Browse through the extensive Bahamian book collection.

This store, inside a bright peach-and-turquoise building, is your best bet for hats, sandals, tropical jewelry, sportswear, and souvenirs. If you are looking for gifts to take back home, you should be able to find something cool here.

This store sells paintings by local artists, books, clothing, and other nautically oriented gifts, but the most interesting souvenirs are the half-models of sailing dinghies. These mahogany models, which are cut in half and mounted on boards, are meant to be displayed as wall hangings. Artist Joe Albury, one of the store's owners, also crafts full, 3-D boat models.
