Cable Beach
A resort beach about 6 km along the north shore of New Providence, lined with big resorts such as Baha Mar, with clear, calm water.
Cable Beach takes its name from the undersea telegraph cable linking Florida, which came ashore here in 1892. It lies about 8 km west of central Nassau, and its curving white-sand shore stretches roughly 6 km. The water is shallow and clear, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and watersports. Resorts such as Baha Mar and Sandals are concentrated here. Public access points are free, and beach vendors rent loungers and offer watersports. From downtown, take the No. 10 jitney or a taxi, about 15 to 20 minutes.
