Also available are every day essentials such as; plastic ware, dishes, pots, assorted hardware, mops, brooms, hair accessories, eyeglasses, sun glasses, clocks, radios, CDs, movies, minerals, vitamins and herbs, and a few "Sometimes Hard to Find in Jaltemba Bay Items", such as cotton balls and Q tips.
During the winter tourist season the market in La Penita expands tremendously, both in size and in the variety of wares offered for sale. You will find unique silver, turquoise and leather jewelry; pretty hand woven baskets, rugs from Oaxaca, exquisite blankets and table linens; colourful Mexican pottery and beautiful glass ware.

The market selection also expands to include a wide selection of tempting baked goods, candies, dried fruit and nuts, including the ever popular sweet roasted, caramelized pecans and almonds. To complete the shopping experience make sure to stop by Hala's Hamaca Maya's to shop for an authentic Mayan hammock and Mexican Folk Art; or simply for the experience of meeting the very personable, Hala, in person!
Shopped out? Take the time to enjoy a meal with friends, at one of the local restaurants. Treat yourself to Eggs Benedict at Xaltemba; a delectable cup of Expresso or Cappucino at Soley's; or Shrimp Tacos at Hinde & Jaimes. Work off the extra calories with a stroll along the beach in La Penita.
Still have energy to burn? Stroll up and down both sides of the Main Avenida in La Penita, stopping at Armando's Jewelery for silver and turquoise jewelery. Continue on your way and shop for striking jeweled sandals, colourful inexpensive purses, casual fashion items and some very feminine and charming fashion items for women.
Tiangus is held every Thursday in La Penita's Town Plaza which is located at the end of the Main Avenida, about one block from the beach.
