Freeport Straw Market

The Bahamas are well known for their production of handmade straw products. At this market, browsers will find countless vendors peddling a cavalcade of handbags, placemats, hats, baskets and more, all made from straw. Non-straw items include T-shirts, mahogany and native pine carvings, as well as a wide selection of costume jewelry. Merchants will expect haggling and welcome customers who are willing to haggle. It is a local tradition. The market is located behind the International Bazaar.
