Nassau Beach Recommendation
 
Leaving in 72 hours--need your beach recommendation on Nassau. Prefer quiet location with good beach for sunning/swimming/snorkeling. Want to avoid loud music and obnoxious 'beach toys'. Beach chairs/floats and a bar are a plus but not required.<BR>Thanks for your input!

we're coming off a cruise ship, but hate the cattle call shore trips!

How was your trip to Nassau? What do you recommend for a day-trip from a cruise ship?<BR>I am leaving in 48 hours for a 1-day port in Nassau on Carnival.<BR>Thanks!

THere are some nice beach areas on Nassau, like Paradise Island, and you can take a water taxi over from the dock area and walk to a stretch of beach that you like. <BR><BR>There are no chairs so bring a towel with you, but you will find lots of places for a drink, or fill a thermos and bring that along as well.<BR><BR>The further out you walk on Paradise Island beach, the less people you will encounter.<BR><BR>Another option would be Cable Beach, but it will probably be loaded with people, again walk a bit to a more remote stretch.

Check out the Orange Hill Inn west of Nassau. Walk down a driveway to the beach area. Not upscale, but rustic with pub, and very comfortable with no crowds. Family owned and extremely friendly. Robert
