Nassau Straw Market

The Nassau Straw Market is a two-story, air-conditioned market with over 400 stalls, where handmade Bahamian straw products—hats, bags, baskets, and dolls—have been sold since the 1940s.

This place combines authentic craftsmanship with a lively atmosphere of price negotiations. In addition to traditional products, you will find wood carvings, conch and coconut shell jewelry, colorful fabrics, and local artwork. The market's history dates back to the 1920s, when women from Fox Hill sold sisal products at the port.
