Flea Market / Straw Market
📖 George Town, the capital of Exuma, offers a charming flea market scene centered around its Straw Market. Resellers here can find a unique array of handmade Bahamian crafts, particularly straw hats, bags, mats, and dolls, often woven on-site by local artisans. Beyond straw goods, wooden carvings, conch shell jewelry, and souvenir T-shirts are also prevalent. An insider tip for resellers is that haggling is not only accepted but expected, offering opportunities for better deals, especially when bundling items.
