Junkanoo Beach
An urban beach a short walk from the cruise terminal, lined with beach bars and snack stalls, ideal for cruise passengers who want a quick dip.
Junkanoo Beach lies about a 10-minute walk west of the cruise terminal, on the west side of the city centre, and is the most convenient public beach in Nassau. The beach is small and the water is shallow. Along the shore, wooden beach bars and snack stalls sell conch salad, cocktails and cold beer, and loungers and umbrellas are available to rent. The water is less clear than at Cable Beach or Paradise Island beaches, and the beach is busy on cruise days, but its convenience makes it a good choice for visitors with only half a day.
