Information:
Bungalow Beach Hotel Craft Market, or BB Bendula for short,
was established back in the year 1975 to formalize the activities
of women selling their home made baskets to tourists on Kotu
Strand beach.
Then an international organisation donated purpose built market
structures adjacent to the beach. This Bendula was later extended
in size in 2009 to allow for a new total of 41 craft stalls.
You can find wooden drums, necklaces, African tie dye clothing
and hats, paintings, calabash gourds, balafons, and even stuffed
toys, sunglasses, baseball caps.
