A lot of unique and verity of souvenirs you can choose from. Fairly good prices. The Fisherman’s Whalf was quite empty. I guess it's because the summer tourist season is over. Few stores were having big sales.

Nice souvenir shop right at the entrance to the wharf. They have some of the typical souvenirs like tee shirts, hoodies, hats, magnets, coffee mugs, hand carved wood boxes and metal wall signs but they also have hand blown glass figures and cool porcelain figurines.
