But there ARE a lot of folks who cruise to shop, it seems.

For the sake of our shoppers - does anyone have some devinitive information about the shopping in Freeport?

Is the shopping good there?
If so, is it a straw market type venue, or something else?
What is THE thing to buy there?

There is a new shopping and restaurant area at a marina there. It is where they drop off cruise passengers, but it is mostly bars. I know. I tried them all.

A website about Freeport:
Grand Bahama Island The Bahamas - Home to Freeport, Lucaya, and West End
It starts off like this:

Grand Bahama Island: The Hong Kong of the Americas

Where Nassau is a blend of the old and new, Freeport/Lucaya is a modernistic planned city, and is situated on the the Bahamas' second most popular tourist destination: the Island of Grand Bahama.


Grand Bahama Island is the second most popular tourist destination. Here you will find long stretches of deserted clean-white beaches, inviting hotels, one major casino, night-time entertainment and world-class scuba diving facilities and land and sea sports. Freeport is the resort center of the Island where much action can be found. On the eastern and western ends of the Island are serene and quaint settings and finding hide-away spots is not uncommon. Shopping is also a feature as one can stroll through Port Lucaya and discover duty-free treasures from around the world.
