Shopping

With everything from colourful beachwear and tropical shirts to locally made crafts and jewellery, Kingston has it all and shopaholics won't be disappointed.

The New Kingston Shopping Centre off Dominica Drive is the place to go for high quality and a wide range of products, while the Island Life Mall on St. Lucia Avenue offers a variety of shops, boutiques and even the Chelsea Art Gallery. Sovereign Centre is Jamaica's largest shopping centre and boasts a plethora of western stores and boutiques as well as a food court and two cinemas.

Jubilee Market on Orange Street is great for souvenir shopping as just about everything is sold here, from Bob Marley mementos and local arts and crafts to fresh fruit and the usual tourist tat. But keep a firm grip on your purse as it's a haven for pickpockets. Kingston Crafts Market, which on Harbour Street, is also a good place for souvenir shopping - look out for wooden crockery, pepper pots made from mahoe wood, masks, straw hats and baskets. Or those happy to take it slow can head down Constant Spring Road and browse through the shopping plazas along the sides of the road.
