Birds of Paradise, Nassau

Assorted souvenirs and gifts can be purchased at this colorful shop. Some of the items are unusual and even bizarre; some of them are dime-a-dozen. Sunglasses, keys and key chains fall into the second category. While you can pick up these items by the wheelbarrow-full at any local souvenir shop, this store offers them on the assumption that some visitors to the Atlantis never want to leave the property. The main attraction at this store, however, is the display of outlandish, vividly hued statuettes in the front of the store. They are made of clay and are cast in the image of animals, but are painted in surreal colors and patterns. They resemble modern Mexican art; the kind that's imported and sold for hundreds of dollars at Miami art galleries.
