Grocery Stores in Turks and Caicos

Graceway Gourmet – Providenciales

  • A staple on every Turks and Caicos shopping guide, Graceway Gourmet is more than a grocery store – it’s a mini marketplace. You’ll find snacks, wine, rum, and a curated section of gifts, candles, and local treats.
  • We grabbed essentials like fruit, beach snacks, and even a small charcuterie board (heads up: it was $40 – pricey, but convenient).

Tip: Hit Graceway early in your trip to avoid overpriced hotel basics.

Local Markets & Art Galleries

  • One of the best parts of shopping in Turks and Caicos is discovering local artists. Small galleries and rotating weekend markets pop up often – especially in Grace Bay and nearby towns.
  • We found colorful paintings, handmade jewelry, and hand-poured candles during a market in town. These pop-ups don’t always appear online, so ask your hotel if any are happening during your stay.

Pro tip: Ask your hotel concierge if there are any local pop-ups while you’re in the town – they’re often unlisted online.

Water Sports & Beachwear Shops

  • Turks and Caicos beaches are the main event—so naturally, the island is filled with shops offering beachwear, snorkel gear, and more.
  • Blue Surf Shop in Providenciales is a favorite, with swimwear, rash guards, and accessories for every water sport. Even if you’re not surfing, you’ll find something worth packing home.

Boutique Shopping in Grace Bay

Saltmills Plaza & Regent Village

  • The core of boutique shopping in Turks and Caicos lives in Grace Bay. These two shopping centers are filled with shops selling island-style clothing, jewelry, and art.
  • One standout: Caribbean Outpost. I picked up a “Turks” sweater there that became one of my favorite post-trip staples.

Pro Tip: Look for pieces made on the island or sourced from regional artists. They make the best souvenirs.

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

  • Bring Extra Cash: While most places accept credit cards, it’s a good to have cash on hand for local markets and smaller vendors.
  • Support Local Artisans: Buying from local markets not only gives you unique souvenirs but also supports the island’s artists.
  • Shop Early: Popular items like handmade crafts at the markets can sell out quickly, so grab your favorites early in your trip.
  • Stay Updated: Check with your hotel or local guides for pop-up events or special markets happening during your stay.
