7 Best Shopping in Turks and Caicos Islands

Anna's Art Gallery

Fodor's choice

This trove of fabulous original artworks, silk-screen paintings, sculptures, and handmade sea-glass jewelry, most made by local artists and artisans, is almost impossible to visit without picking up a little something to take home with you. Anna's Too, just a couple of doors down, is filled with fantastic women's wear—all cotton, comfortable, and colorful. Tucked alongside are books and pillows as well as other home decor items.

Caicos Tea Company

Fodor's choice
Long ago, islanders used to cure all ailments with local bush teas. Donna, the owner of this micro-tea manufacturer, is determined to keep that culture alive with her special blends. Try a cup of the Caicos Sunshine Tea, a blend of citrus, fever grass (lemongrass), and mint that is said to relieve just about everything. If she's around, Donna will gladly give you a tour and share the history of Turks and Caicos bush tea culture with you. On Provo, you can purchase the teas in FOTTAC and Art Provo.

Dizzy Donkey

Fodor's choice

This pair of locally owned and operated shops, right across from each other, is a great spot to pick up high-quality beachwear and beach accessories. They also have locally made jewelry made from sea glass, shells, and other found objects from the beach. This is where you go if you are looking for a less expensive something that’s a little different.

Graceway IGA

Fodor's choice

With a large fresh-produce section, bakery, gourmet deli, and extensive meat counter, Provo's largest supermarket has everything you're looking for. The most consistently well-stocked store on the island carries known brands from the United Kingdom and North America, as well as a good selection of other international foods, plus prepared items such as rotisserie chicken and pizza. There's also an excellent selection of wine, beers, and spirits (no alcohol sales on Sundays). Expect higher prices than back home.

Middle Caicos Co-Op

Fodor's choice

This little store sells handmade straw baskets, placemats, and floor mats made by local artisans. Their huge handwoven beach bags are perfect for toting beach towels and snorkel gear. They also sell local art and beach rope bracelets woven from fishing nets that have washed ashore. They have another location in Middle Caicos near the Conch Bar Caves.

Rumeurs

Fodor's choice

This fun store offers a wide assortment of items under one roof: jewelry, women's clothing, small pieces of art and sculptures, lighting, household items, and furniture—all with an Asian influence.

The Market

Fodor's choice

The Market prides itself on offering high-end gourmet and organic items, including a wide selection of fresh produce, international items, gourmet coffees and teas, dry goods, wine, beer, and spirits, as well as a range of smoothies and juices. While you're there, check out their café-style deli. You can grab a quick bite to eat and then pick up your shopping while enjoying a wonderful cappuccino. This is much more than convenience for those staying in the Leeward area. It's also the perfect spot for picking up specialty items that you may not find anywhere else on the island and where you can create a lovely picnic to take out on a boat trip leaving from right in front of the Market's door.
