Cable Beach HELP

[smacksgirl11]

Hi! We are going to be in Nassau in March on the Oasis. We are there from 7-2. We have been to Nassau before and never really done a beach there, so we thought we would like to do Cable Beach. What is the best way to get there? Is it easy to do on your own our are you better off doing it as an excursion? Thanks!

Just got back a couple weeks ago from cruise (Carnival Sensation). It's very easy to do on your own from port.

 

Take the $1.25 public bus # 10 from Downtown to Cable Beach (pick-up at the corner of W. Bay St. & George St. near the Straw Market or walk all the way to the McDonald's/Dunkin Donuts across from the Hilton British Colonial on W. Bay St.).

 

This was a great option and cheap! There are many stops to get off the bus for beach access.

 

We asked the driver to recommend a stop and he dropped us off at the beach access that is shared with Sandals Grand Bahamian Resort. You won't be able to use the Sandals facility but the beach is for public use. The water here was heaven! Just like a pool .. totally worthwhile.

 

I also heard another great option is Cabbage Beach on Paradise Island .. you'll need to take a taxi as bus does not go there.

 

Enjoy.
