Nassau

What is something cheap and fun to

do with the kids? (8 year olds) Any nice free beaches around?  Also kid friendly dining in the area to grab lunch.  My girls pretty much eat pizza and chicken nuggets still. 😩🤣 

 

We are considering a day pass to the margaritaville resort, but don’t know if it is necessary for Nassau.

When we haven't done aquaventure, we've just hopped into a taxi to Cabbage Beach, followed by lunch at Marina Village (Atlantis).

We usually go to Junkanoo lately (right next to Margaritaville... It is pretty good beach. There is some food there too.

About 15 or 20 min walk or short taxi ride you can go to Junkanoo beach, free.   It is right next door to margaritville resort. You could rent lounge chair for $10.  There are small beach hut restaurants and bars in this area.

Try Adastra Gardens and zoo with the marching flamingos. It's about a ten minute jitney ride from the port and then a ten minute walk. Then go to Fish fry for lunch.

How long and how much is the taxi to Cabbage Beach?

Used to be $4 pp, now I think it is $5.

 

Btw before they improved Junkanoo beach and walk there became more pleasant we also used to take taxi (or small boat) to Atlantis (go thru the Dig) or to Cabbage beach all the time.

 

If you go to Cabbage beach I recommend not stopping near entrance, but go as far to the right as they will be willing to carry your lounger. Near the entrance it can get loud as they are greeting tourists and trying to get their business. And sometimes they argue between each other loudly.

Junkanoo Beach is super easy to walk to with sidewalks and not far. I agree with others if you want a cheap day at the beach, this is the one. 

 

You can see the beach HERE with my pictures and our day we had there.
