Best Outdoor Activities in The Bahamas

"Cable beach in Nassau is what Cabbage beach is to Paradise Island. Most tourists who prefer to stay in Nassau head towards a beach-front resort on Cable beach. And the beach is fringed with plenty of large resorts including Sandals, Sheraton, Wyndham etc and recently the new grand Bahamar."

"The name perhaps was so given because you will fall in love with the beach the moment you are there. It's a fairly long stretch of powdery sands with crystal clear water located at the west end of New Providence Island and quite close to the Lynden Pindling International Airport where all international flights land in Nassau. In fact while landing, you can clearly see the love beach below."

"Love Beach is a dream you won’t want to wake up from, and you won’t have to – at least not for the duration of your vacation!. Among the most interesting features on this beach are its natural rock pools, hammocks and cabanas. Love Beach is quiet, calm, perfect for a romantic stroll, and even good for family beach days."

"Love Beach is undoubtedly one of the quietest of all the best beaches in Nassau. Since it’s located 9 miles away from downtown Nassau, most people don’t bother to make the trip. However, a trip to this beach will treat you to one of the very best sites for snorkeling."

"Best known as the home of the marching flamingos, the Ardastra Gardens & Wildlife Conservation Centre is set on four acres of tropical gardens. The flamingos entertain visitors by marching in formation to commands. A fun spot to bring the whole family, this zoo specializes in the conservation of Caribbean species, including the endangered Bahama parrot and several species of iguanas."

"Having gotten its name from the film “Jaws”, Jaws Beach is a wonderful stop for all movie enthusiasts. Though it was the filming location for the final section of the “Jaws” movie series, it is unlikely that you will see a shark here. An isolated and generally deserted beach, Jaws Beach is the perfect destination for a romantic stroll."

"Browsing Nassau’s Straw Market, located on Bay Street, is a must when visiting the area—and it’s free!. (Of course, the shopping is another story!) This souvenir market offers everything from straw hats and beach bags to wood carvings and paintings. Be prepared to be approached by the vendors selling their wares, but know that you can haggle for the best price."

"After the decline of the sponging industry in the mid 1940s, Bahamian women began braiding and weaving the leaves of palm trees and sisal plants into baskets and fishing traps as a way to boost their income. Today, this tradition continues at the Straw Market in Nassau. Looking for some Bahamian souvenirs?"

"Fat Tuesday has a wonderful location on the waterfront, just before Junkanoo Beach. It is a great place to enjoy a good time by the water, dipping in the ocean and enjoying light fares like Conch Salad, Burgers or Paninis. Fat Tuesday - Nassau"

"D’Aguilar Art Foundation was established by the D’Aguilar family in memory of the late Vincent D’Aguilar that features his personal collect of some of the best Bahamian art work around. It was launched back in 2008 after Mr. D’Aguilar’s death and his confidentially held art collection is open to the viewing public daily for those who enjoy Bahamian art and to contribute to art education and literacy in the Bahamas. The foundation also gives “entrée to scholars, artist, collectors and aficionados l to study and research Bahamian art."

"Just around the bend from the NAGB on quaint Virginia Street, lies the DAF- a tiny yet still immensely fascinating art gallery. Curiously enough, its late founder and avid Bahamian art collector, Vincent Y. D’Aguilar, was appointed as the founding Co-Chairman of the NAGB when it first began its building renovation process. Also like the NAGB, it is housed in an older 19th century home that has since been remodelled."

"Hillside House the studio of Antonius Roberts features the work of one of the Bahamas most highly praised Bahamian artist Antonius Roberts. All over his studio you’ll see most of his paintings and sculptures produced by the artist over the years, but you’ll also become introduced to Antonius’ passion of sculptures, wood work, and cravings. Its close proximity to Down Town Nassau makes it an ideal spot for visitors to come, see and experience Bahamian’s local art and the artist."

"Antonius Roberts is Bahamas most loved and popular sculptor and artist. His paintings and sculptures are a steal for anyone who loves art and his philosophy for conserving, transforming and preserving the spirit of Bahamas alive and thriving in his art pieces, is why people love visiting this gallery.The location of the gallery and studio on a hillside embodies much of the inspiration of the ar...Read more"
