Cabbage Beach

[scubagirrl]

For those arriving in Nassau over the next few days, be aware that Cabbage Beach has been RED FLAGGED.

We have had 2 drownings in 3 days.

The weather system has affected Atlantis Beach as well.

 

Please choose a harbour beach (Hilton or Junkanoo) or Cable Beach hotel with lifeguards to be safe.

 

Waters should be back to normal by mid-week.. next week. (Mar 20 or so).

Very sorry to hear about the deaths, Scubagirrl. :( Thanks for the warning.

So sorry to hear about the deaths.

 

We are going to RIU on the 19th. I don't normally get in the water -- what is the beach like?

 

Thanks.

Hi there, I have a message out there with no responses called Cabbage Beach and Atlantis. Would you be so kind as to give me any advice that you can on this? By the way, is Cabbage Beach still flagged? We will have teens and small children swimming so I want to make sure that everyone is safe.

I'll take a look an see what I can do.

 

Cabbage Beach is NOT for small children. Too dangerous.

Thank you very much. People think very highly of you on this forum and I will take any advice that you are willing to give

We just got back from Nassau yesterday. We stayed at the RIU on Cabbage Beach and the water was exceptionally calm all weekend - completely different than when we were there in January when the waves were huge. However, it does get deep very quickly. A few steps and we were over our heads. I don't think it is a good beach for small children, even on a calm day.
