Creator's Key Takeaways

No vendors haggling you, no crowds, and you kind of got the beach to yourself.

Not only is the beach gorgeous, but it is literally the closest you can get to within walking distance from the terminal.

There are absolutely no vendors. The water is crystal clear and it's really comforting being so close to the cruise ships.

If you rent the cabana, which runs 290 bucks for four people, it's a steal.

Book a private resort day pass to avoid overcrowding at Junkanoo beach.
Visit British Colonial for a relaxing day with private beachfront access.

YouTube Video Description

A big mistake cruisers make when visiting Nassau is visiting Junkanoo beach. And I understand why… it’s a “free” beach day (but renting umbrella and chairs from a local vendor can set you back $30-40) and is close to the port, not requiring the cost of a taxi. But here’s a better option, if you’re willing to spend a little more to avoid the overcrowding, loud music, and pushy vendors of Junkanoo. Instead, book a private resort day pass (info for this one is at profmel.com/colonial). For me, it’s worth every penny. #cruise #shorts #cruiselife #cruiseadvice #cruisetube #cruisetips
