Shopping in Turks and Caicos

Welcome to your shopping guide for Turks and Caicos! Whether you’re in search of clothing stores, convenient grocery options, or unique local finds, this list has you covered.

Grocery Options in Turks and Caicos

For grocery shopping in turks and caicos, Graceway Gourmet is a popular destination. It’s not just a grocery store; it also offers locally made crafts and souvenirs, making it a one-stop-shop for essentials and fun island treasures. Here, you can stock up on snacks, drinks, and other necessities for your stay.

We picked up a bunch of beach snacks, juices, and rum to have in our hotel room. I will say that the store is very pricey – like $40 for a small charcuterie sampler pricey. Despite the price, the selection and quality were worth it for a quick and easy way to prepare for beach days.

Local Art Galleries and Craft Markets

There’s a variety of local art galleries and craft markets to discover with locally made paintings, sculptures, pottery, and other handmade crafts. During our visit, we stumbled upon several pop-up markets in town featuring local artists.

Tip: Keep an eye out for community events and markets during your trip—they’re the perfect place to pick up one-of-a-kind souvenirs while supporting the local artists.

Beach and Water Sports Equipment

With the island’s stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, you’ll find a ton of shops selling beachwear, snorkeling gear, surfboards, paddle-boards, and other water sports equipment. If you are thinking of trying a new sport on your trip, you should definitely check out Blue Surf Shop.

Clothing and Souvenirs

While Turks and Caicos might not be overflowing with high-end shopping options, you’ll find some great spots to pick up island-inspired clothing and accessories. The Saltmills Plaza and Regent Village have a ton of shops offering everything from handmade jewelry and clothing to unique artwork and gifts. These areas are perfect for browsing and finding that perfect island outfit or souvenir to take home.

During our trip, I snagged a cozy “Turks” sweater from Caribbean Outpost. It was such a hit that several people reached out on Instagram asking where I got it. It’s the kind of souvenir you’ll actually wear long after your trip!

Hotel Gift Shops

Don’t overlook your hotel’s gift shop! Ours was stocked with local snacks, beachwear, and Turks and Caicos-branded merch. I had to buy one of these ‘Turks’ hats for my husband. Too good to pass up!

Pro Tips for Shopping in Turks and Caicos

1. Bring Extra Cash: While most places accept credit cards, it’s a good to have cash on hand for local markets and smaller vendors.

3. Shop Early: Popular items like handmade crafts at the markets can sell out quickly, so grab your favorites early in your trip.
