#2 of 45 in Beaches in Bahamas
Beach · Nature / Park
Spend some time on Junkanoo Beach, a public beach near Nassau's port. Convenient if you're visiting Nassau on a cruise ship, the beach offers a variety of amenities like bars, restaurants, and shops. Rent a beach chair and relax with a coconut drink, or get snorkeling gear and head to the nearby reef. Browse the stalls for snacks and charming souvenirs, go paddleboarding, and enjoy a meal from the bar and grill. The beach can get crowded when the cruise ships arrive, and on weekends when there's organized entertainment for tourists. Inspirock's itinerary builder makes planning a Nassau trip simple and quick.

    This is the closest beach to the city so gets busy. There is a bar where you can eat or get a drink. If you want to swim to cool down then this is ok but there are a lot nicer beaches like Cable Beach  more »

    Beautiful view of Nassau harbour. Very relaxing place with clear blue waters and white sand. A natural stress relaxer.
