Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. It lies on the island of New Providence, with neighboring Paradise Island accessible via Nassau Harbor bridges.
A popular cruise-ship stop, the city has a hilly landscape and is known for beaches as well as its offshore coral reefs, popular for diving and snorkeling.

This is the place to be for anyone who loves the sun, sand and sea. With so many stretches of beautiful beaches—and miles upon miles of powdery white sand—there’s always a perfect place for you to lie back, relax, and enjoy in The Bahamas. And with sunshine 300 days a year and water temperatures averaging 80 degrees, there’s almost always a gorgeous day of sun and fun waiting for you on Nassau’s beaches.

Walk through our calm, shallow waters, snorkel right from the beach, or explore our colorful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. Be sure to pack your sunglasses, because every day is brilliant when you’re at a beach.

Discover our stunning beaches, spectacularly clear water, and stunning marine life. Embark on a coral reef excursion, explore a shipwreck on a half-day scuba diving trip, stroll the bottom of a shark exhibit for a little face-to-nose time, or even try Snuba, which pairs the simplicity of snorkeling with the wonders of underwater breathing.

Add in the Caribbean’s largest marine habitat and waterscape at Atlantis, and you’ll soon discover a world of wonderful water activities awaits you on Nassau Paradise Island.
