George Town Straw Market

In existence since the early 1960s, the Straw Market in picturesque George Town is a one stop shop to purchase locally handcrafted handbags, baskets, coconut and sand jewelry, woven straw hats, T-shirts and many other locally made souvenirs. They also carry a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables.

The former market was destroyed by fire in April 2015, but the vendors have relocated just a few yards away under a big tent.
