Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for New Providence and Paradise Islands right now.
Most of Nassau's shops are on Bay Street between Rawson Square and the British Colonial Hotel, and on the side streets leading off Bay Street. Some stores are popping up on the main shopping thoroughfare's eastern end and just west of the Cable Beach strip. Bargains abound between Bay Street and the waterfront. Upscale stores can also be found in Marina Village, in the Crystal Court at Atlantis, and at Baha Mar on Cable Beach.
You'll find duty-free prices—sometimes as much as 25% to 50% less than U.S. prices—on imported items such as crystal, linens, watches, cameras, jewelry, leather goods, and perfumes, but you really need to know the prices before you buy. Not everything is a bargain.
Bahama Handprints fabrics emphasize sophisticated tropical prints by local artists in an array of colors. Also look for leather handbags, a wide range of women's clothing, housewares, and bolts of fabric. Watch as the handmade fabrics are designed right on-site. You can also find their outposts in Marina Village, at the Nassau Cruise Port, and at Baha Mar.
This is a top choice for everything from ball gowns and cocktail dresses to resort wear and bathing suits, with all the shoes and accessories for every look. Two additional boutiques can be found at The Coral at Atlantis and just outside the gates of Lyford Cay on the western end of the island.
