The liveliest market in town sits beneath the Paradise Island Exit Bridge, where fishing boats from the Family Islands arrive daily, carrying the sea’s harvest, as well as fruit, herbs, biting pepper sauces and vegetables. It’s a great place to hang out and watch the pandemonium whenever a boat returns, or to grab a cheap meal of conch salad or souse at one of the wooden food stalls. The offices and docks for Bahamas Ferries and mail boats are just northwest and northeast of the market respectively. The area can be dodgy at night.
