There are lots of great local finds, too. We have a booming clothing industry that emphasizes the tropical look. While local designers produce outstanding cosmopolitan one-of-kind apparel, there is also hand-painted and silk-screened clothing and T-shirts. In fact, Barbados' T-shirt industry is vibrant, high quality and excellent value for money.

The shopping doesn't get any better than Bridgetown Cruise Terminal where duty-free and local product shops engulf Broad Street, the main drag. We also have smaller shopping hubs and suburban malls in outlying towns.
