Arabus Clothiers
George Town
Some of the mostly European clothing here costs less than the equivalent within the U.S., partly because of the duty-free status of natural fibers such as cashmere, silk, linen, and wool in the Cayman Islands. You may find some flamboyant items, such as slinky, scarlet women's evening dresses, complementing merchandise that is for the most part restrained, subdued, and in very good taste.Some of the mostly European clothing here costs less than

If you're even remotely interested in under- or above-water sports, this trio of shops -- each owned by the same entrepreneur and within the same shopping center -- has virtually everything you'd need to play on or below the surface of the sea. The largest and most impressive of the stores is Divers World Ltd. of Cayman (tel. 345/949-8128), with what's probably the Caribbean's largest collection of diving and snorkeling equipment.

If you're in the market for sports clothes, bathing suits, gift items, protective wading shoes, sunglasses, suntan oil, candles shaped like shells, or rash guards (a Lycra or latex shirt that protects you from being stung or scraped by a coral reef), head for The Beach Boutique (tel. 345/949-8128), immediately next door.If you're even remotely interested in under- or above-water sports,
Foster's Food Fair
George Town
If you're renting a private condo or villa and want to do light cooking "at home," Foster's is the best pit stop. Just off Seven Mile Beach, it's a huge emporium of food products. This is the most visible of five branches scattered widely across Grand Cayman Island.

Horacio Esteban/The Esteban Gallery
George Town
Here you'll find the commercial headquarters of Grand Cayman's most celebrated craftsman of caymanite, the striated and very hard stone unique to the Cayman Islands. Caymanite ranges in color from pale pinkish beige to deep russet, and here it's crafted into letter openers, pendants and key chains, custom-designed company accessories and awards, and evocative and very unusual pieces of sculpture. Prices range from CI$10 (US$13/£6) for a key chain to CI$3,200 (US$4,000/£1,920) for a surreal and riveting depiction of an Arawak princess. You'll recognize the gallery because of the concrete statue, crafted by Esteban himself, of a giant turtle emerging from its shell.Here you'll find the commercial headquarters of Grand Cayman's most
La Casa del Habano

Lighting Up a Stogie for Fidel -- Although you can buy Cuban cigars in the Cayman Islands, it is still illegal to bring them back to the United States. If you want to enjoy one of these prized stogies, you'll have to smoke it on the islands.Tucked into an inner courtyard and accessible via a narrow

Pure Art
George Town
This is the most creative and most imaginative gift shop in the Cayman Islands. Located within an unpretentious and low-slung wood-frame house about a mile south of George Town proper, it has reached its present level of fascination under the stewardship of Debbie Chase, a U.S.-born artist. Chase's friendly relations with craftspeople throughout the Cayman Islands has created a treasure trove of gift items that are a lot more interesting than what's available at many nearby competitors. Expect a densely packed environment loaded with paintings, artifacts, books, and clever handcrafted items from the Caymans, Cuba, Jamaica, Key West, and Central America. The common denominator linking all the items is good taste, good humor, and an appreciation for detail-intensive labor. The collection of island-inspired jewelry is particularly comprehensive.This is the most creative and most imaginative gift shop
Shellections
George Town
Few other shops on Grand Cayman sell seashells in as imaginative ways as Shellections does. Look for boxes covered with seashells, delicate shells accented with gold trim, and -- best of all -- some of the most artful Christmas decorations we've ever seen, including angels, cherubs, and infants in swaddling clothes, all of them crafted from fish bone, shells, gauze, scarlet, shiny gilt ribbons, and gilt paint. You'll also find T-shirts, black coral jewelry, and blown-glass paperweights. This is the largest of three branches of this store. The other two are found at the Waterfront Center and across from the Bayshore Mall.Few other shops on Grand Cayman sell seashells in as
Tortuga Rum Company
George Town
Founded in 1984, this company pioneered the first locally labeled rums in the Caymans, developing into the largest retail and duty-free liquor business in the little archipelago. Its most famous brands are Tortuga Gold, Rum Cream, Coffee Liqueur, Orange Rum Liqueur, and the 12-year-old Tortuga Gold Rum. Many people visit to purchase a carefully sealed rum cake, based on a century-old family recipe. The cake is the Cayman's number-one export and souvenir item.Founded in 1984, this company pioneered the first locally labeled
The Book Nook
Grand Cayman
Here, at one of the largest bookstores on Grand Cayman, you'll find novels, travel guides, cookbooks, diet books, and dictionaries. You can also peruse the rambling, somewhat disorganized inventory of souvenirs, children's toys, porcelain, and gift items. A smaller branch of this outfit is in the Anchorage Shopping Centre, on Harbour Drive, directly opposite the cruise-ship terminal (tel. 345/949-7392).Here, at one of the largest bookstores on Grand Cayman,
Beyond the Horizon
Seven Mile Beach
This emporium -- loaded with good Asian handicrafts -- is one of the most exotic gift shops on Grand Cayman. Tara Parker operates the store and travels twice a year to Indonesia, India, and Southeast Asia to find the tables, armoires, Indian temple drawings, jewelry, and textiles that transform her shop into something akin to a bazaar. Expect depictions of Buddha and the Hindu gods, wrought iron in a style known throughout India as the jali school, and furniture carved from Asian hardwoods.This emporium -- loaded with good Asian handicrafts -- is

Kennedy Gallery
Seven Mile Beach
This art gallery -- the most important, visible, and influential in the Cayman Islands -- showcases works by each of the nation's recognized artists, including local masters Joanne Sibley and Charles Long. Works by less widely recognized artists are also featured. Our favorite among these lesser-known artists is Petrina Wright, who once taught art in a high school on Cayman Brac, and whose works seem to incorporate reggae, soca, Caymanian nationalism, racial pride, sexual liberation, and adolescent trauma, all at the same time. Among the offerings here, expect to find an excellent selection of seascapes and tropical landscapes, bronze castings of Caymanian sea turtles by artists in California, and absolutely brilliant sculptures by emerging artists in nearby Cuba. Works of art range from CI$8 to CI$50,000 (US$10-US$62,500/£4.80-£30,000). Members of the Hill family, who are extremely articulate spokespersons for the art scene on Grand Cayman, manage this fine gallery.This art gallery -- the most important, visible, and influential
Mitzi's Fine Jewelry
Seven Mile Beach
This plush, elegant jewelry store and art gallery was established by Mitzi Callan, the most famous and celebrated craftsperson in the Cayman Islands and winner of dozens of local and international art contests. Set just north of the Hyatt Hotel, on the opposite side of West Bay Road, it's a showcase of work imported by Ms. Callan, including Italian porcelain, Carrera & Carrera sculptures, and work she has designed herself from black coral, gold, platinum, and gemstones. Simple pieces of jewelry begin at around CI$30 (US$38/£18), and can rise to as much as CI$50,000 (US$62,500/£30,000).This plush, elegant jewelry store and art gallery was established
Top Drawer
Seven Mile Beach

Brand names include Casa Bello, La Perla, and Jezebel. Come here with a credit card, a sense of humor, and a lot of imagination.The merchandise sold here is similar to the sexy and
Black Coral Clinic
South Sound
One of Grand Cayman's most eccentric coral-jewelry designers operates a showroom from what was originally built as a garage on South Strand Road, in a mostly residential neighborhood about 4.8km (3 miles) south of George Town. Its owner is Carey Hurleston ("Doctor Carey," to his friends), a heavily tattooed, widely experienced biker who might drop an anecdote or two about his days with some of North America's more notorious motorcycle clubs. As Hurleston says, "I'm like country music. I'm here to stay." All the coral sold here comes from waters immediately off Grand Cayman. Hurleston removed the coral from deep waters some 2 decades ago, before the reef was protected, and his products are made from that long-ago supply. It's all fashioned into earrings, pendants, and bracelets, with very few items selling for more than CI$50 (US$63/£30).One of Grand Cayman's most eccentric coral-jewelry designers operates a
