The calabash gourd, or "gobi", is made into bowls, utensils, purses and musical instruments.  The calabash and coconut are both made into bird feeders.  Several other local crafts have evolved from the emergence of the tourism trade such as mocko jumbie dolls, palm frond hats and birds, shell crafts and adornments, and articles or clothing made from madras.
