Shopping
In An Elegant, Tropical Setting
What could be more exciting than spending
a day shopping under a warm sun with a
gentle breeze from the nearby ocean carrying
you from shop to shop? Whether you are
looking for dazzling jewellery, beautiful
local arts and crafts or designer clothes,
you will be pleased with the quality and
selection the stores have to offer you.
In
Grand Cayman
you never have to go far to shop. In addition
to the shops in town, there are many small
malls which have restaurants,
liquor and gift shops including the new
Grand Harbour Center.
Duty-Free
Shopping
Cayman
is a duty-free destination which means
many exciting opportunities for you to
save on such things as watches, china
and crystal, perfumes and fine jewelry,
including authentic treasure coin jewelry,
on Grand Cayman and at a few stores on
Cayman Brac. Prices on perfume, watches
and select luxury items may be as much
as 30% less expensive here.
In
addition to traditional duty free selections,
varied and interesting shopping, from
chic European fashions to outstanding
local art, delights visitors in speciality
stores, hotel boutiques and shopping plazas.
