Pink Sands Beach, Harbour Island
Foraminifera, a microscopic marine animal with a bright pink or red shell, inhabit the sand on this beach. Their presence in the sand gives it a light-pinkish colour as well as its name. In addition to the pink sand, this beach also has healthy vegetation and clear blue water that makes for an excellent view.
Cable Beach
Located a few miles west of the capital and spanning for over two and a half miles, Cable Beach offers a beautiful ocean view as well as first-class luxury resorts, golf courses and the largest casino in The Bahamas to date. Visitors will also get to see water sports such as jet skiing, parasailing and banana boat rides in action.
Saunders Beach
Located east of the resort area of Cable Beach, Saunders Beach makes a great second stop for those following this list in order. The beach’s tropical trees create a gorgeous view—especially at sunset—and because it is often less crowded than Cable Beach, visitors also get a clearer view of the oceanfront.
Fort Montagu
Constructed in 1741 to help defend the country from invaders, Fort Montagu remains the oldest fort still standing on the island of New Providence. It is located at the eastern end of Nassau Harbour. Tour guides also conduct tours Monday through Sunday from 8am to 3pm.
