One thing you that won't find on Bonaire are endless shops selling the same trinkets and souvenirs at ever changing prices. What you will find is a main shopping avenue, a few mini malls and lots of interesting establishments tucked away just a bit off the main drag. Each store is unique and stocks merchandise that is competitively priced with goods from the United States and Europe.

And, fine shopping is not limited to town. The resorts also have an array of stores. Watches, authorized Rolex dealer, gold jewelry, Dutch cheese, Cuban cigars (enjoy them on-island, not importable into the USA) and fine china can be found at reasonable prices there as well.

Check out our local artists and craftsmans. Many of the gift shops carry locally made items that could be your perfect Bonaire memory - paintings, prints, cards, ceramic tiles, painted fish, costume jewelry, island dolls, and even high quality gold jewelry
