Creator's Key Takeaways

This is one of Nassau's most famous landmarks, and you don't need a tour to see it.

Junko Beach is the easiest beach to reach without an excursion. It's close, public, and flexible.

Doing NASA on your own gives you more freedom than any excursion would.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit Junko Beach for a flexible, close beach stop without an excursion.
Check prices at the Fish Fry before deciding to eat there.
