The selection changes by the day as old vendors pack up and new ones move in. You can find everything from antique buttons to gorgeous, handprinted landscapes.

While you wander, you can grab a bite to eat at one of the waterside restaurants and seafood shacks just steps away from the shanty village. Or simply dine al fresco on the lush lawn near the village.
