Beach Ideas - Nassau and Freeport?

[PAcruiser25]

Hello,

 

We are looking for ideas of beaches to go to in these ports.

Nassau - usually go to Cabbage Beach but considering something closer to the pier.

 

Freeport - is there a nice and safe beach we can get to from a shuttle/van? It is a short day so we want to make sure there is easy access to return transportation to the ship.

 

We don't care about chair or umbrella rental or food.

 

Thanks!

We are looking for the same info. In 2007, we walked to a beach area in Freeport close to the ship; however, the island has changed so much, it no longer looks like it is there.

Junkanoo is walkable from the pier in Nassau, not nearly as nice as cabbage but there are restrooms, plus food and drink.

Thanks. We wound up doing the family beach day excursion to Blue Lagoon in Nassau and we liked it.

 

In Freeport we just walked around the shops for a little bit.

How was Blue Lagoon? How long was the commute to Blue Lagoon?  We go in March and are still trying to figure out what to do.

The ferry ride was maybe 25 minutes. There were really comfortable lounge chairs and nice umbrellas so if it had been sunny it would have been great. There was actually a little drizzle for some of the time we were there so the umbrellas were helpful for that. There's free Wi-Fi which is nice. The island is nice to walk around and you can see dolphins and sea lions. We didn't do a special dolphin or sea lion program but it was fun to look at them. There's an OK buffet, and all the staff members were very nice.
