Beach overall scores
Colonial beach (The Bahamas) is located outside the Nassau settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Paradise island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is a true gem, a hidden paradise waiting to be discovered. The crystal-clear water beckons you to dive in and explore its depths. The sand is soft and inviting, perfect for building sandcastles or simply soaking up the sun. And don't even get me started on the stunning sunsets that grace the horizon each evening."
