Rawson Square
Squares, New Providence Island
Fodor's Review:
Many locals congregate at this square, which connects Bay Street to Prince George Wharf. As you enter off Bay Street, note the statue of Sir Milo Butler, the first post-independence (and first native Bahamian) governor general. Horse-drawn surreys wait for passengers in Woodes Rogers Walk, which runs down the middle of the square (expect to pay about $10 for a half-hour ride through Nassau's streets). On the Walk's other side, you can look into (or perhaps stop inside) the hair-braiding pavilion, where women work their magic at prices ranging from $2 for a single strand to $100 for an elaborate do. An often-overlooked pleasure near the pavilion is Randolph W. Johnston's lovely bronze statue, Tribute to Bahamian Women.
