Traffic can be heavy (it is, afterall, the mainstreet of the island, with most of the island's shops spread out along it), but you know you are on an island.

Periwinkle Way is one of the main roads on the island. Along the road you will find some lodging, restaurants, and shopping. Some intersections along the Way are busy.

Very well kept and clean outdoor mall....odd mix of shops, a bit pricey but still not bad...liked the surf shop and good price on sandals...too many jewelry shops...
