Nassau is the capital of The Bahamas, on the island of New Providence. A bustling hub of
shopping, vibrant nightlife, restaurants, museums, history and culture are all part of the

Bahamian vacation, and its close proximity to the United States makes it easy for US visitors
to hop on over for a quick getaway. This destination is family-friendly with a wide array of
attractions for even the most punctilious of guests. Here are just a few things you can do:
Pirates of Nassau conveniently located in downtown Nassau is a delightful, interactive pirate
experience.

tropical garden with an impressive variety of plants and animals including reptiles and birds
and very captivating flamingoes.

Paradise Island
Paradise Island is undoubtedly the epitome of
Caribbean luxury with the impressive Atlantis
Paradise Island Resort being one of the luxurious
accommodations on this 685 acre island. Located
to the north of Nassau, visitors will find beautiful
beaches here, each offering a different experience.
There are also opportunities to do some exploring,
and a visit to Cloisters, the ruins of a French
monastery, or a quick peek into the caves at Cable
Beach which pirates once used to hideout, are
exciting things to do if you feel the need to escape
from the luxurious resort lifestyle, albeit only for a
short while. So don’t leave the Bahamas until you’ve
visited Paradise Island!
