There are two large shops. Drives a person crazy because everything is super expensive. When we were at the port there were tables set up with items for sale. We found one locally made tiki mug for $20 and a huge seashell for $20. Back in Ocean City I saw it for sale for $140! We took a 6 hour round trip to a museum and a couple of national parks. One with a few old stone tikis and another with a beautiful waterfall. We saw hundreds of homes with tall walls with graffiti. We were told to not walk in neighborhoods because there are wild dogs. I think staying downtown and walking there or going to a resort where there are the rooms on stilts would be more fun to explore. The bus ride was far too long for what we saw.
