With all that there is to do <strong>and</strong><br />
see on <strong>Tobago</strong>, shopping<br />
may be low on the list <strong>of</strong><br />
priorities for most visitors,<br />
but at some point during<br />
your holiday you are going<br />
to see something that “Great Aunt Fay” would<br />
love, or your best friend asked you to buy or…<br />
you might just feel the need to take back home<br />
a souvenir <strong>of</strong> the isl<strong>and</strong>. So where should you<br />
look<br />
Let’s start at Crown Point: The beach facilities<br />
at Store Bay <strong>and</strong> Pigeon Point cater to sun-<strong>and</strong>sea<br />
gifts, lots <strong>of</strong> bright cotton wraps, wild shirts<br />
<strong>and</strong> tees plus a selection <strong>of</strong> crafts from leather<br />
to wood, calabash <strong>and</strong> bamboo <strong>and</strong> locally<br />
made jewellery. There are two small shops<br />
in the airport mall next to the bank as well<br />
as homemade sweets <strong>and</strong> <strong>Tobago</strong>’s famous<br />
“bene (sesame seed) balls” sold opposite<br />
international check-in for flight departures.<br />
