4 Best Shopping in St. Kitts and Nevis

This shopping arcade, designed to look like a traditional Caribbean street, has more than 20 stores (purveying mostly resort wear, souvenirs, and liquor), a restaurant, tourism offices, and a bandstand near the cruise-ship pier.

Directly behind Pelican Mall, on the waterfront, is Port Zante, the deepwater cruise-ship pier where a much-delayed upscale shopping–dining complex has become a 50-shop area (including the large, ubiquitous jewelry concerns like Abbott's, Diamonds International, and Kay). If you're looking for inexpensive, local T-shirts, souvenirs, and crafts, check out Amina Market, a series of vendors' huts behind Pelican Mall to the right of Port Zante as you face the sea.

Shoreline Plaza is next to the Treasury Building, right on Basseterre's waterfront. The shops mainly sell T-shirts and locally made handicrafts and souvenirs.

TDC Mall is just off the Circus in downtown, with a few boutiques, selling mostly island wear.
