Help! Pulling into Nassau need Beach Recommendations

[julie100]

Hello! We're on the Escape about 1/2 hour outside of Nassau. Went to the excursion desk and they were NO HELP at all. Looking for a beach with some services but want to avoid crowded beaches like Cable and Cabbage. Any suggestions? Willing to stay in Nassau or go to Paradise Island. Any help is appreciated (adults and college aged kids plus grandpa who has a few mobility issues normal for 80 year old but can usually hang with us).

 

Thanks :)

Try Junkanoo beach not far from the ship. Friendly people great prices and a lot of fun

Junkanoo is the only free beach with facilities. Melia is the cheapest day pass, $45, I think all of the hotelday passes end at 5.

I've heard Junkanoo is good, too.

Julie, check out the Bahamas ports of call forum.

Where did you end up, and how did you like it?

Is it just me or are the beach names in Nassau unappealing? Cabbage, cable & Junkanoo? [emoji23]

Yes. Tiki bikini hut is on location. They always offer drink packages and specials.

The excursion desk wasn't helpful when you asked for free places to go to? [emoji849]
