Latest reviews on Nassau island's beaches

Baha Mar beach
10 Bex S

We had a fantastic time at this beach resort. In March 2023, my family and I stayed here for a week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The units had a cozy feel, reminiscent of cottage life in Ontario, Canada (although they were not luxurious). The grounds were well-maintained. The only downside was that the beach had eroded, but during our visit, we were able to use the beach next door, which was in front of a resort under construction. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and it was never overcrowded. The resort had two pools, one of which was larger and heated. Onsite, there were laundry facilities, a restaurant, BBQ grills, a pool table, tennis courts, and table tennis. You might need to bring your own rackets and other equipment. Additionally, towels could be exchanged during your stay. The units were equipped with air conditioning, kitchens with dishwashers, stoves, microwaves, kettles, dishes, pots, pans, soap, and dish detergent. The office also provided a large jug of water. The area felt safe, and there were grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance.

The beach is absolutely lovely with its golden, fine sand. It can get quite busy at times, but it's still manageable.

Adelaide beach

Accessing the beach is not possible without purchasing a swim with pig tour as the entire area is enclosed.

Coral Harbour beach

The desolate coastline of the southwestern region of New Providence in the Bahamas is a place where the waves barely muster enough energy to stir up any excitement. It's situated far from the bustling city of Nassau, which is perhaps the only redeeming quality of this beach. While it may be suitable for those who enjoy a lackluster picnic or a solitary moment, it's hardly a destination that will leave a lasting impression.
