Nassau Town: Not an impressive city
  • Tip Rating:
  • Downtown Nassau is not that impressive, but if you are on a cruise ship - you can kill a day there.

    The main shopping area is about 200-300 yards long. If you want to buy gold, jewlry, tax free booze, cheap cigarettes and Cuban cigars, and T-shirts - you will find something that you like. If you are looking for a memento of the Bahama's culture - I left wondering what that is.

    Shame on the residents and the city government for leaving trash all over the place. The residents don't seem to care - and the government doesn't either. They know the tourists will keep flocking due to good advertising

    Paradise Is.: Free Beaches
  • Tip Rating:
  • Despite what your travel agent might tell you, there are 4-5 "free" beach access points on Paradise Island. Grab one of the local tourist maps, and they will show you where they are (15-20 minute walk from shuttle boat ramp).

    A cab driver will take you directly to the entrance points.

    Once on the "free" beach - you can wonder along and enjoy some of the amenities of the Hotel's & Resort's beaches.

    You can buy reasonably priced drinks on the beach - and even pay a little less for the jet skiiing or banana boat rides

    Nassau Town: It's fun for 1/2 day
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • For the capital of a country, I was not that impressed. The shopping area is 200-300 yards long. Plenty of tax-free and cheap cigarettes, cigars, liquor, fine jewlry, and t-shirts. Not quite sure what the culture is, or if it just whatever the tourists make it.

    Worth walking up to the old forts on the hills and staircase. Very nice views.

    We felt safe.

    It is dirty. Shame on the locals and the city government for not keeping the place cleaner
