Closest Beaches to Port in Nassau and Freeport?

[JetSet2B]

I will be doing the solo cruise thing for the first time coming up next weekend, and I'm tyring to decide what to do once I dock at Freeport and Nassau. I wanted to know which beach/resort is closest to the ports. I'm nervous about cabbing alone (although likely I can just share a cab) but I wanted to go somewhere relatively close that I can walk to or not have a very far cab ride.

I don't know which beach is closest to the port in Freeport. Because the port in Freeport is industrial, it seems that nothing (beach/resort) is really "close". We took a 15 min. cab to Our Lucaya resort. There are cabs waiting for you as you get off the ship, so it was easy getting one ($5pp ea way). As for Nassau, you can see British Colonial Hilton from the ship. It is really close. We didn't go there, but I think you can walk there from the port. Hope this helps.

We loved the Hilton, and yes it was very quick and easy to get to.

I'll do BCH at Nassau. Still not sure about Freeport. . .
