Shopping

There isn't much here. Your best bet is the Virgin Gorda Craft Shop at Yacht Harbour (tel. 284/495-5137), which has some good arts and crafts, especially straw items. Some of the more upscale hotels have boutiques, notably the Bitter End Yacht Club's Reeftique (tel. 284/494-2745), with its selection of sports clothing, including sundresses and logo wear. You can also purchase a hat here for protection from the sun. You might also check out Island Silhouette in Flax Plaza (no phone), located in Flax Plaza near Fischer's Cove Beach Hotel, which has a good selection of resort-style clothing that's been hand-painted by local artists. Pusser's Company Store, Leverick Bay (tel. 284/495-7369), sells rum products, sportswear, and gift and souvenir items. Tropical Gift Collections, the Baths (tel. 284/495-5380), is a good place to shop for local crafts. Here you'll find island spices, bags, T-shirts, wraps, jewelry, maps, and pottery on sale at good prices.
