This convenient in-town beach, formerly known as Western Esplanade, sits within walking distance of the cruise port and downtown Nassau, with calm water, beach bars, and rental chairs.
Know before you go
- It's close to the cruise terminal, making it the easiest beach option for a short port day.
- Rent a lounge chair and umbrella from one of the beachside vendors rather than bringing your own.
- It's a more local, low-key beach than the resort beaches on Paradise Island — expect a simpler set of amenities.
