Muslim Friendly Shopping in Paradise Island

MarinaVillage House - Marina Village

• Marina Village, next to Atlantis. A shopping street built according to plans originally made for rebuilding Bay Street and the main shopping street in Nassau. A confection of pretty pastel houses, it's very pretty indeed and well worth a stroll, but the shops within are exceedingly pricey — you can find most of what they sell in Nassau at much lower prices.

• Crystal Court Shops | These shops offer some of the island's finest men and women's fashions.

Halal Restaurants in Paradise Island

• Dune, Ocean Club. Good food, good service, great views and an incredible price tag: a fruit platter costs $22 and a bottle of water $10. But if you want to eat where James Bond did... Open to non-guests, just tell the gate attendant that you're eating there.

Stay Safe

Sign ErrantGolfBalls - Beware the golf balls

Signs around the Ocean Club warn of the danger of getting bonked on the head by an errant golf ball, which is indeed probably the main security risk on this heavily policed patch of prime property. By Bahamian law, all beaches are public property, but you can expect to get hassled if you go as much as one step on to private manicured lawns.
