runner15km Posted October 14, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2005 As you come into the harbor this hotel and beach is on your right, there is a path from the street to the beach area. For about $5 per person take a taxi to Cabbage beach on Paradise Island, much, much nicer beach. http://www.nassauhilton.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubagirrl Posted October 14, 2005 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2005 The Hilton is $15 for a day pass. Small Private beach and pool, very quiet atmosphere. This is not a resort, but a small classy business hotel. Perfect for a quiet afternoon on the beach with a cool drink. Paradise Islands' Cabbage beach (Shared with Atlantis/RIU) is open to the public, with NO amenties to speak of. You can rent a chaise, but theres' no food/beverage service or bathrooms. Cable Beach hotels, such as Nassau Beach Hotel and Wyndham allow cruisers to use their beaches. They assume you'll bring your own towels and purchase food/beverages from their concessions. Bathrooms available. You can take a cab to either Cabbage Beach ($4pp) or Cable Beach ($12 for 2ppl) There's a stretch of rocky public beach just west of town, no amenities, but the water is crystal clear and calm. You can easily walk to this beach from the port. But, I must say, the beach is not well maintained for most of the season. I'd opt for either Cabbage Beach or Cable Beach.

sln88 Posted October 14, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted October 14, 2005 thanks- we are planning on snorkeling and going to the pirate museum, so just want to take a short trip to the beach - not make a whole day of it. I am kind of concerned about the amount of time it would take us to taxi to Paradise Island. Also maybe the queens staircase and fort? can we walk there?
