We were just there last week. There are a lot of shops right there at the pier. You can also take a bus for 3 dollars pp to the town and a taxi for the return for 2 dollars per person. However, the vendors at the town are not as busy and are very pushy to the point of getting mad if you do not buy something.

 

I would not walk it to the town. Of course the port shops are right there at the pier along with the bar and pool.

We were in Majahaul last week. I did get 2 very nice pairs of silver earrings in town. One for $10 and one for $12, but the sellers were very pushy.

 

I think the prices at the port were better for the regular souvenirs (dolls, magnets, etc). The port is a very cute area - very touristy but felt safe. Big swimming pool in the middle with shops all around. We got alot of our souvenirs at a large store in the back close to where the Mexican dancers and singers are.
