Creator's Key Takeaways

the very first thing that you're going to notice when you visit Nassau is that you will not be alone

I recently went walking alone exploring nasau by myself it's purely anecdotal but overall I felt no sense of danger

the bottom line it's definitely not a private island run by the cruise lines but I also don't think that you have to be scared to get off of the ship

if you want the nicest beach that's accessible from the cruise port you will find it here cabbage Beach

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider a shore excursion to get out of the city and crowds
Walk to Junkanoo Beach for a free, easy beach option
Visit the new welcome area at the port to stretch your legs
