Top places to visit

1. Cable Beach

Cable Beach, the most popular stretch of coast on New Providence Island, is the ideal escape from downtown Nassau, the nation’s capital. Located just minutes west of the city, the 4 miles (6 kilometers) of coast are home to some of the island’s most luxurious resorts. Those staying at the hotels can walk straight from their rooms into the turquoise water, while day visitors can stretch out on the white sand. Spend the day relaxing at the water’s edge, scouting for local marine life beneath the surface or trying your hand at poker in one of the beachfront casinos.

2. Cabbage Beach

Paradise Island’s major resorts have centered themselves around one of the most idyllic strips of coast in the Bahamas. Cabbage Beach has 2 miles (3 kilometers) of soft white sand, crystal-clear water and countless resorts, bars and restaurants lining the shore. The near end of the beach is busy, with a lively atmosphere and plenty of activities to occupy the family. The far, northwestern end of the beach is more isolated. Those looking to escape the crowds will love this section of Cabbage Beach, where a more relaxing beach experience can be enjoyed.
