A day away from the beach and beautiful water of the Bahamas does not sound too exciting, but you will certainly appreciate the lost time in the sun once you have visited the straw market. While not the most glamorous place on the island, this was certainly one of the most fun stops. Only a short taxi ride from Paradise Island, the market has not only the island charm, with straw bags, hats, and other "islandy" souvenirs, but also a taste of city life through knockoff bags, luggage, and other items. The prices here are usually negotiable and easily beat prices at the stores in the area, not to mention that it gives the opportunity to meet with the locals and see a different part of the city.
