Straw Markets can be found on many islands in The Bahamas. Nassau's famous Straw Market is one of the largest in the world, and is open seven days a week from early morning until evening. Here, you'll find an array of handmade mats, hats and baskets along with fabrics, jewelry, woodcarvings, and guava jellies. Of course, half the fun of shopping a straw market is meeting local merchants and bargaining for their handmade products
