Quote: We went on a RC cruise and one of the stops was at Nassau, Bahamas. After going on a snorkeling excursion we decided to stop at the Straw Market. (It is very close to the catamaran we went on.) There was a man across the street selling coconuts for... Read the full The Straw Market review

  • January 6, 2026
Quote: Nassau's Straw Market has a long history, and it is a sizable market housed under a large canvas tent structure in a prominent location at the end of Bay Street. It's no coincidence that it is convenient to the cruise terminal or that the ships... Read the full The Straw Market review

Quote: A very intersting place. A LOT of people seeing stuff in a small place. Most of it is just T-shirts and trinkets. However, you can find some nice things if you look.

  • August 2, 2025
Quote: Be prepared to be harassed, it is part of the style. This is the place to get a few rasta braids or two. Take home some tee-shirts and local items. This is the kind of stuff that will eventually end up in your garage sale, not your estate sale! Once... Read the full The Straw Market review
