Nassau Beaches Guide

Our favorite beaches in Nassau, The Bahamas

  • Love Beach

    Love Beach is one of the most secluded and serene, with excellent snorkeling because of the nearby coral reefs. There aren't any public facilities which keeps it quiet but be prepared! Being off the beaten track, the easiest access is through Nirvana Beach Bar ($5 entry).
