There is not a lot to buy but the spices the island is known for. Grenadians are overall very friendly but in the market bit pushy.
If you have time this is a really sweet market that is full of delightful little shops. We were never hassled and were able to browse in peace. Coffee was made specially for us and later the cocktails were delicious, all from different little bars.
Number one: the people of Grenada are super friendly and are willing to answer any questions you have.
You can buy anything from food, snacks, and drinks to souvenirs like spices, jewelry and island tokens to take home. People are friendly but persistent to get your attention. As long as you're polite but assertive, you'll do fine.
If you have ever been tempted to have your hair braided or extended - Jackie is the BEST!!! Located at the end of Grand Anse Beach, a collection of locally owned and staffed shops offer a wide range of variety - great place to pick up souvenirs and gifts for the folks at home.
We visited the Grenada Crafts Center mainly to go to the candle and soap shop which was fine although the stock was a bit limited. However there is not a great deal to see in the other small outlets.
Friendly, pleasant natives walk you through many of the crafts practiced on this wonderful island. Above all, there is one thing to remember -- this is THE place for spices. Every spice on earth is here and reasonably priced.
Most of the stores were vacant and there was nothing here that you could not get at Market Square Maybe it is better at a different time of day or year. Not sure why we were even taken here. Felt sorry for the few vendors as they really had no business and few wares to sell
Craftsmanship is important on the island- coconut jewellery, organic aromatherapy oils and cosmetics, organic chocolate, incense sticks, notebook, hand died fabrics….a treat!
During one of many visits to Grand Anse beach, I decided to stop by the craft centre mainly because I knew it was there. I hadn’t really done any research beforehand and had no idea what to expect. I found a well laid out area that was filled with many stalls – unfortunately, most of which were empty. However, I was there in low season and I am told that the centre comes to life when cruise ships come in. It is ideally located for this as Grand Anse Beach is very tourist-orientated anyway and I can imagine tourists streaming off a massive ship and straight into the centre. As a solo traveller visiting in low season, I was greeted with the same warmth and grace that the majority of Grenadians offer. There were a few stall holders there selling their wares, though, some of which were hand-made and turned out to be the place I got most of my souvenirs. I was pleased I visited, but regret not bringing more money with me as I had only planned a beach visit. Not only can you get spices, you can get jewellery, ornaments, towels, clothes and all manner of objet d’art.Well worth a visit.
Really enjoyed our time here and the all those delicious spicesHighly reccomend stopping in and buying every spice you can
The shop spaces were experiencing a high rate of vacancy. The shop keepers that were there must be suffering. Not a great offering for such a great island!
I guess this was created to cater for the hordes of tourists on Grand Anse Beach. But there never seems to be vast hordes of tourist on the beach! There are a couple of dozen local traders market-type stalls & booths selling local craftwork, clothes, drinks and snacks. In the centre is a tourist information office that doesn't advertise itself!Entrance is either from Grand Anse Beach or from the cemetry lane off Lagoon Road. You'll need a car or a taxi to reach it easily. If you have one, its worth a brief stop-over to support the locals and to pick up some tourist gifts at reasonable prices.
It is set off the St. Georges - Grand Anse Road with a large advertising sign, and we drove inexpecting a lot. We found three small shops, one selling ladies clothes which could have been made or designed on the island, a shop selling cushions and needlework products, and the third sold spice scented products, such as soaps and candles. Sadly there was little that really displayed the unique feeling of Grenada. Perhaps it would benefit from some external advice on finding new and original products, and not copying what is available from so many tourist islands. These days, I'm sure the discerning visitor is not interested in buying ordinary products made local by having the island or town name imprinted on it, or knick knacks likely made in China with Grenada on them. This is last minute airport shopping stuff - Grenada Craft Centre needs a more individuality.
We have now bought about 6 things from the potter here. When you go there, make sure you walk around to the walk, you'll meet the wonderful potter and be able to buy his things for a very reasonable price!
