The Nassau Straw Market is a lively spot in downtown Nassau where you can find a wide range of souvenirs and Bahamian crafts, from straw hats and bags to intricate wood carvings and beautiful conch shell jewelry, there's plenty to find.

One thing to note is that the vendors rely on this market to support their families, so it’s best not to haggle. The market is lively and offers a genuine taste of Bahamian culture and creativity.

Here’s a fun fact: the Straw Market has been around since the 1940s and was originally set up to help Bahamian women sell their crafts. You can still find some traditional craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. Happy shopping!
