π Falmouth's 'Bend-Down Market,' held every Wednesday, is a bustling hub where resellers can unearth a diverse array of goods, making it Jamaica's largest flea market outside of Kingston. You'll find everything from clothing and accessories to household items and electronics, often at surprisingly affordable prices. Beyond the Bend-Down Market, the Falmouth Craft Market and Albert George Market are excellent for handcrafted wood carvings, beaded jewelry, batik clothing, and unique souvenirs that reflect Jamaican culture. An insider tip for resellers: while the Artisan Village at Falmouth, near the cruise pier, was heavily damaged by Hurricane Beryl in 2024, resilient artisans continue to sell their unique pieces from temporary spots in Historic Water Square and near the cruise port.
