Beaches

Cabbage Beach

One of the more beautiful beaches on Nassau/Paradise Island is Cabbage Beach. It is ideal for beach walking, swimming or sunbathing. Enjoy water-skiing, snorkeling and parasailing.

Delaporte Beach

Near the small village of Delaporte, a former plantation, Delaporte Beach is a beautiful beach just West of Cable Beach.

Goodman's Bay

Just before entering the resort area of Cable Beach is Goodman's Bay, another popular beach with recreational facilities for children. Joggers and exercise enthusiasts frequently use this beach to workout.

Montague Beach

East of Paradise Island are Montague Beach and Fort Montague. This historic fort was constructed in the 18th century to guard the eastern entrance to Nassau Harbor. Local vendors sell fresh seafood, fruits and vegetables year-round here.

Orange Hill Beach

Just west of Cable Beach is Orange Hill Beach, which runs a half mile along the coast.

Sandyport Beach

A little past Cable Beach you’ll discover Sandyport Beach. While you’re there, venture across the small bridge to the new Sandyport development and residential area.

Saunders Beach

Saunders Beach is located just east of the resort area of Cable Beach. Although it is popular for visitors, this beach is a favorite to locals as well. It’s lined by grand casuarina trees and provides a beautiful view especially at twilight.

Western Esplanade

This beach area, known as Long Wharf, is near downtown Nassau just a few minutes from the cruise ship docks. Although a popular destination for spring breakers, on Saturdays you’ll find Bahamians hosting cookouts and other fundraising activities.
