Creator's Key Takeaways

Don't listen to the naysayers on Facebook that are telling you to stay on the ship in Nassau because I've got a beautiful beach just a 15minute walk from the cruise terminal

I just kept heading down to the beach and I could see past that there was a completely deserted stretch of beach with some really nice trees and natural shade and just really pretty deserted

I would highly recommend this if you just want to do your own thing

Get off, go to this Junkanoo Beach

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk 15 minutes from Nassau cruise port to Junkanoo Beach instead of staying on the ship
Use coordinates provided in description to find the secluded section of Junkanoo Beach
Avoid Google Maps directions that lead to Margaritaville private beach
Walk past Margaritaville Resort to find the public beach area
Visit the beach early morning, return for lunch, then enjoy the uncrowded ship
Look for the Esplanade sidewalk past Margaritaville to bypass crowded beach areas
