Sagarika Government EmporiumPort Blair
Padauk wood craft, shell and coconut-shell items, island produce
The administration's own emporium, and the sensible place to buy shell work — the government stock is restricted to legally permitted material, which the roadside stalls are not.
Aberdeen BazaarPort Blair
The islands' main market — fish, produce, cloth, everyday goods
The one place where all of Port Blair's communities shop in the same street, and the best short lesson in what the settler population actually is.
Junglighat fish landing jettyPort Blair
The morning fish landing
Not a shop, but where the day's catch arrives and where the fish in every restaurant and household kitchen comes from. Go early.
Cottage industries and rural craft outletsPort Blair, Rangat and Mayabunder
Cane, bamboo and coir products from the settlement villages
Run under the administration's rural industries schemes. Quality is uneven and the pricing is honest, which is the reverse of the tourist strip.
