Antonio Shopping
Port
Antonio is not a shopping bazaar like
Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. Most activity
centers around Musgrave Market, on West
Street, in the center of town. This is
one of our favorite markets in all of
Jamaica. It evokes a movie set on which
the director is about to call, "Lights,
camera, action!" The most active
market day is Saturday. To see the market
at its most frenzied, go any day of the
week from 8am to noon.
If
you've already perused the shopping possibilities
of the native markets, you might scout
out the craft and gift stores of the resort
hotels. |

Should your experiences and impressions animate
your creative vein, you will find inspiration
at the hotel’s own Gallery Carriacou where
works of local artists are displayed. The gallery
plays host to all forms of art and craft. Exhibition
openings are complemented with musical, dance
or literary performances. Children in rural
areas often do not have the opportunity to experience
and contemplate Art. They are also welcomed
to the gallery where they can become more aware
of their rich cultural heritage and potential.
Innkeeper Barbara Walker has informal talks
with the children about the work they are viewing
and about their own creative aspirations. She
can also help make your creative dream a reality
through art classes she offers in her studio.
