Name of Shop: Conch Vendors
Local, small shop with very friendly people who will sell you conch shells for miniscule fractions of the cost at the Straw Market or other vendors in the city.
What To Buy: Conch Shells; with or without the whole cleansing process. You can learn how to clean them yourself when you get home, too.
What To Pay: Jason gave me 6 of his own shells, all stunningly beautiful and asked for $5 after I insisted on paying him. You do what you feel is right.

Straw Market: Got Straw?

Name of Shop: Straw Market
This is an outdoor market of over 100 vendors of straw products and more. You can get anything from t-shirts to little statuettes made of coconut shells in this place. Be sure to bargain, bargain, bargain! Don't let them charge you too much for something that is worth half the demaded value!
What To Buy: Straw goods, make sure that you see the women making more things at their stands. That helps you know that their products are authentic and not made somewhere else. There are Fouis-Vuitton bags here and other things one may be interested in buying. Hand-carved wooden pieces and shell jewelery are all available here in this oversized claustrophobic people-oven. Be sure to go in the morning before the cruise ships let out the tourists.
What To Pay: Anything from my $3 straw fan to a $10 wooden sculpture to a $25 purse.

Name of Shop: Bay Street
This is like the Fifth Avenue, Ginza, Calle de la Fortaleza of Nassau.
What To Buy: You can buy things from stores as Gucci and Versace here. The Bahamas is very famous for its perfumes and jewelery, so donīt be afraid to check some of those out while you're meandering down the street. You can also find many tourist shops with local crafts for cheap and expensive shells.
What To Pay: From $1 for a postcard to $150 for a pair of shoes to $500 for a necklace. The choice is yours
