Plan groceries, souvenirs and practical shopping in Exuma
Plan Exuma shopping around your accommodation, arrival day and the kind of purchase you need. George Town combines groceries and local souvenirs, while Hoopers Bay has additional grocery options. The directory also includes practical suppliers, so a shopping listing does not necessarily mean a gift shop. Confirm the correct branch and current stock before making a special journey.

Practical notes
Make an arrival-day essentials list and check the branch before traveling, especially on Sundays and holidays. For a grocery order, agree on substitutions and the handover arrangement with the store and host. Stock is not guaranteed by a product photograph or directory description. Ask souvenir sellers about materials and care, and check your destination’s import rules before buying plant or animal products. Keep chilled purchases out of the heat and allow time to return to your accommodation.
