The best shopping in Jamaica is split between vibrant markets and peaceful shopping malls. You’ll struggle to find the latest high-end brands here, but Jamaica excels in fashionable beachwear and one-of-a-kind handmade crafts.

Several of the best shopping experiences are found in and around Montego Bay, but you’ll be well catered for wherever you find yourself in Jamaica – especially for beachwear and souvenirs. When visiting markets, take the right precautions to be discreet with valuables and keep your belongings with you at all times.
