British
Colonial Hilton Beach:
Completed in 1922, the
British Colonial Hotel was built
on the original site of Fort
Nassau (circa 1695). For several
decades it was considered
Nassau's premier resort before
falling into neglect. Fortunes
turned for the better when
Hilton purchased the property in
the late '90s. Today, guests can
still see evidence of the old
fort on the hotel grounds. This
hotel is situated downtown
Nassau and is the only private
beach within walking distance of
your cruise ship terminal, The
British Colonial Hilton Nassau’s

clients an ideal location for a

From downtown
Nassau it is about 10 minutes away. It's fine
soft sand is often littered. However, tourists will be
happy to find public restrooms, changing areas, and
restaurants serving snack-type food and drinks. This
beach
The
beach itself is a beautiful, wide stretch of white
sand spanning about two miles of coastline. There
are several places to rent water sports equipment,
from jet skis to floats. Unfortunately, the beach does not have any public
restrooms or changing facilities, but a customer of
one of the restaurants or businesses located on the
beach can use the bathroom. If you will be traveling
to this Bahamas beach with children, you will likely
want to plan to have lunch in one of the cafes
rather than bringing a picnic, so you can take
advantage of the chance to freshen up in the
restaurant bathroom.
Caves Beach is also located near Nassau, and is
one of the best beaches in Bahamas for escaping the
huge crowds. As a lesser known beach located a
little further from town (about 7 miles from
Nassau), fewer tourists frequent it. There are no
public facilities, so be sure to plan ahead.
Across the street from the beach are the Caves said
to once have been the homes of the original
inhabitants of the Bahamas. Now, they are home to
hundreds of bats. The caves are right on West
Bay street with a small parking area. A chair made
of shells sits in front than the caves.
The caves are
somewhat dirty with litter and other junk and not
worth a special trip. 
Several resort hotels with restaurants and
stand-alone eateries are lined up along the
shoreline to satisfy your need for a meal, libation,
or a break from the sun. Vendors offer a wide
variety of snacks, ice cream, and all sorts of
trinkets and souvenirs; the ladies can even get
their hair braided. You can rent a
chairs and umbrellas here. This beach is very nice
with white sand and beautiful clear turquoise
waters. If you like to snorkel, there are three sets
of rocks about 100ft off shore that are visible in
low tide. The rocks have formed the beginnings of a
reef. Swim out to these rocks for some incredible
views of tropical fish/marine life. Snorkel
equipment is available from the hotel. The taxi ride there will be around $20.
