SHOP TIL YOU DROP...
BVI may not exactly be a shopping hotspot, but we do have some awesome homegrown talent. Check out the best local talent for clothes, art and gifts for friends and family (and yourself!). The below are all around the Island but If you’re looking for a concentrated area of shops, then Road Town and the Pier Park (where the cruise ships stop) are the best areas.

Arawak is an awesome one-stop shop for good quality known-brand swimwear, clothing, sandals, jewellery, games, gifts & more.

The most authentic Caribbean hand-crafted souvenirs you’ll find: jewellery, pottery, trinkets, original artwork, screen-printed t-shirts, and unique sculptures by our good friend Aragorn Dick-Read. Make a trip of it and visit one of the fun restaurants at Trellis Bay like LOOSE MONGOOSE or tie it in with a beach day at LONG BAY EAST
