Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stopped here on my way out, it’s a nice little spot, I wish I had gone and spent a little more time here. There’s tons of shopping and places to eat. I’ll be sure to add it to my next visit.

There wasn’t a lot to do, however the advertisements really pumped it up to be a really nice place to shop, eat and have fun. It wasn’t. Most of the shops that we went to were overpriced. And throwing some clothing designer merchandise into a small store doesn’t make it “the place to shop.” For example, one store was crammed with polo merchandise (of course, overpriced), but it wasn’t appealing. It’s very obvious that they are trying to sell Camana Bay as the place for the discerning and affluent shopper, but the vibe isn’t there. I did not see one person leave the area with a shopping bag and the stores were mainly empty. There was no way I was going to pay for overpriced merchandise based on location. There was a very nice movie theater and the beautiful water of course, makes for the perfect scenery. The actual island is pretty expensive and we definitely added to the beautiful island’s economy during our 8 day stay.

There are only a few stores for tourists. Most are expensive. The book store has a great selection of books and toys.

Very nice area. Well designed and taken care of. Good restaurants. Wish the ferry ran more frequently to Rum Beach. Like to know the name of the fountain manufacturer - great feature for kids of all ages. Well done

Went to the farmers market on a Wednesday and it was pretty small, the restaurants and shops in the area are pricy.

Nice enough outdoor mall with several restaurants. Be sure to climb the observation tower for some great views, not to mention the mosaic wall.

Upscale outdoor mall, but we walked into 5-6 different stores and were never even greeted by employees (mostly received snarky looks). Don’t waste your time…you can buy anything you find here at home.

A lovely and accessible place to dine, shop, catch the ferry. Locals and tourists alike seem to enjoy the nicely laid out market area. It's peaceful for a stroll and there is a mix of high end and more affordable shopping. Same with the restaurants. One can take the walking overpass from Seven Mile Beach here with ease. There is a delightful mosaic "tower" that can be accessed via stairs or elevator and is designed so that one traverses from the "bottom" of the sea" to the ocean surface. And then you have the lovely view. Often live music at restaurants.

I have read about public buses going up and down seven mile beach. I am wondering if these buses go up to camana bay and Georgetown? Is anyone aware of the fare? US or CI?

Yes, you can take a small bus that takes you all the way passing camana bay and leave you in george town.
You can pay in US or CI both works great for them bot remember the USD is lower than the CYD.
The cost is around 2 USD.
I found this information on the web that may can help.
Cheers

I have never seen these things at Camana Bay. Perhaps it was a one-time event. You could contact the Camana Bay Visitor Services listed on their website.
sorry- it won’t let me post the website.

Walk around and enjoy the shops, have lunch at one of the restaurants, go to the top of the Observation Tower for a nice view of the island, buy some excellent cheeses and other specialty items at Bay Market.
