Opened
in 1999, Pelican Village is an attractive, spacious shopping
village offering
the very best of local handicrafts, and providing the opportunity
to see Barbados' craftsmen at work.
Located
on the outskirts of the capital city of Bridgetown, Pelican
Village is the first stop for cruise visitors as they disembark
at the Harbour.
With ample parking and within easy reach
of the west and south coasts, long stay visitors should
also plan a trip to the Village.  Pelican
Village is named after Pelican Island, a small island which
existed off Barbados before being incorporated into the Deep
Water Harbour.
Along
with the shops and restaurants,
Pelican Village offers amenities such as restrooms and pay
phones. There is wheelchair access to the shops.
There
are a few benches in the plaza and tropical flowers in full
bloom line the walkways.
Just
opposite the village is Trevor's Way - a small oasis on the
busy street where you can sit on the benches after you finish
your shopping, and watch the catamarans sailing by or the
fishing boats bringing in their catch to the nearby market.
