Walk inside the Straw Market Bahamas

🧺 Nassau Straw Market is a vibrant cultural gem nestled on Bay Street in downtown Nassau. It’s the heart of Bahamian craftsmanship, where hundreds of vendors showcase handmade straw hats, bags, mats, dolls, conch shell jewelry, wood carvings, and other locally made souvenirs—all at negotiable prices.

This open-air market isn’t just a place to shop—it’s a living piece of Bahamian history. The tradition of straw weaving dates back to the 1940s, when locals used these skills for everyday tools like baskets and fishing traps. Today, it’s a bustling hub where you can experience the rhythm of local life, chat with artisans, and pick up unique keepsakes that carry the spirit of the islands.

If you’re planning a visit, bring small bills for easier transactions and be ready to bargain with a smile. It’s open daily, typically from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, though hours may vary.
