Plenty umbrella shade on beach, water rinsing, helpful life guards. Hotel room was nice in size and very clean.Lobby was very roomy to meet and relax at the same time before departing.

Sea and sand were not crowded and great atmosphere. Beach beds readily available at a price but was well worth it.

If you want to swim or snorkel this is a great place to visit but there isn't much in terms of shopping or eating outside of the hotels.

It's a very nice beach and we walked down towards Goodman's Bay past the Sheraton, the Wyndham and the new Baha Mar which is under construction. Westwinds II has a private, roped off area for their guests, as do the Sheraton and the Wyndham. The public parts of the beach tend to be inhabited by the Bahamians, rather than tourists.... More

My husband and I had a one day port call in Nassau, and wanted to take a beach stroll before our Tru Bahamian Food Tour. (See my review for that event--spectacular.) We walked 10 easy minutes from the cruise terminal (take a right out of the terminal after acquiring a free map at the desk) and follow the road around... More

After a week of beautiful beaches and surf, I was eagerly awaiting our final destination, Cable Beach. Get there was a bit of a frenzy with cabbies yelling and trying to negotiate prices. When we got there, they had dropped us off at the Sheraton Hotel, assuring us that they wouldn't care if we used their beach. Well, that isn't... More

We wanted to visit Cable Beach and on a recommendation from friends did so. We took a cab from the port, $7.00 per person) instead of the #10 bus. Went to the Shearton on the beach. It is well worth the $30.00 per person to use the facility. You have total use of anything in the resort except motorized units.... More

The beach is really pretty, the only drawback is there is a lot of seaweed and not really any snorkeling right off the beach.

We left our cruise ship, walked all over Nassau and saw some great sites. We visited the historical center and learned about the colorful history of the islands. We got on the 10A bus near the port, fare was $1.25 per person to go as far as you wanted to go. We mingled with locals and passed the crowded beaches... More
