Turks and Caicos Shopping Guide
Whether you’re stocking up on groceries, browsing Grace Bay boutiques, or searching for locally made souvenirs, this Turks and Caicos shopping guide highlights the best places to shop across the island.
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.
