π Port Antonio's 'Craft Market' and 'Bend-Down Market' scene, particularly Musgrave Market, is a vibrant hub for resellers seeking authentic Jamaican goods. You'll find everything from fresh produce and local spices to unique handmade crafts like wood carvings, beaded jewelry, and woven baskets, often made from materials like lignum vitae and coconut. Friday and Saturday mornings are especially bustling at Musgrave Market, offering the widest selection and a lively atmosphere for sourcing. An insider tip for resellers: bargaining is expected, especially in the craft sections, so don't accept the first price.
