Orientation
Christiansted
Strand Street
is a good place to start. It is par-
tially closed to traffic, which permits shoppers
to stroll from shop to shop and along three
shopping alleys that connect Strand Street to
the Waterfront. You can spend hours exploring
Pan Am Pavilion, the Caravelle Arcade and
King's Alley. Their small boutiques feature is-
land handicrafts, clothing and small restaurants.
King Street's
covered promenade shades some unusual
stops and
Company Street
has a half-dozen fascinating
shops as well.
Gallows Bay
, to the east of Christiansted, has a mini-mall
with some unusual shops and other shops have relocated
there.
Frederiksted
Frederiksted's handful of shops are located on
Strand
Street
near the cruise ship dock.
We'll focus on those spots that have been here for years. You
can ferret out the craft shops as you stroll along the streets
listed above.
