Miss Mae's, on Dunmore Street (tel. 242/333-2002), lives up to its billing as one of the island's finest clothing boutiques. Briland's Androsia, on King Street (tel. 242/333-2342), sells the best selection of bathing suits; its bright batik fabrics are printed on the island of North Andros.

Blue Rooster, in the center of town (tel. 242/333-2240), along with the Shop at the Landing , offers what might be the island's most upscale and stylish collection of men's and women's clothing and casual eveningwear. Come here for something sporty and trim-looking to wear into a posh hotel's dining room, especially if the New England button-down look appeals to you. The Shop at the Landing, at the Landing Resort (tel. 242/333-2707), focuses on chic and wearable sportswear -- you know, the kind of outfit you might wear to a casual island cocktail party, a posh brunch, or a buffet dinner aboard a yacht.

Finally, check out Princess Street Gallery (tel. 242/333-2788; www.harbourislandgallery.com), where owner Charles Carey has restored an ancestral home and transformed it into a showcase to display works by local artists.
