Airport Souvenir Shop

One small gift shop covers souvenirs for all of MHH

Airport Souvenir Shop is inside the tiny Leonard M. Thompson International terminal at Marsh Harbour, serving as the main spot for last‑minute Bahamas mementos. The airport handles just a handful of regional flights a day, so think compact island shop, not giant duty free. Exact hours aren’t published, but it generally tracks flight banks: open before morning departures and often closed once the last afternoon flight leaves. If you’re on a late or irregular charter, don’t count on it being open.

Stock leans heavily into Abaco and Bahamas basics: logo T‑shirts, caps, fridge magnets, keychains, shot glasses, and some conch‑ or shell‑themed trinkets. Expect airport pricing: shirts run more than what you’d see in Marsh Harbour town shops, and even small items can feel marked up a couple of dollars. It’s fine for topping up gifts when you forgot someone on your list, less great as your primary shopping stop.

You’ll usually find simple travel needs mixed in with the souvenirs: sunscreen in small bottles, bug spray, a few phone charging cables, and basic snacks like chips and candy bars. Card payments are generally accepted, but a few travelers report smaller stands in Bahamian airports preferring cash, so keep a $10–$20 bill handy just in case the card machine acts up. Selection is limited, so don’t expect specific sizes or designs to be in stock on a busy Saturday.

Tip: if you care which design goes on your T‑shirt or mug, shop here before you clear security and line up for your flight; things sell down quickly when two or three departures bunch up.
