Any snorkeling near Cable Beach (New Providence), Cabbage Beach (Paradise Island), or

[D+D]

With 2 days in Nassau, my wife and I plan on spending some time at both Cable Beach (New Providence Island) and Cabbage Beach (Paradise Island). Is there any decent beach-accessible snorkeling near either beach? Any snorkeling advice? Should I bother to haul our masks & fins?

 

Similar question – we’ve booked the Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach excursion (Fortune Beach, Grand Bahamas) – any advice on snorkeling around there?

 

Thanks

D+D
