Didn't see the beach itself, this review is about the snorkeling off the shores of the beach. We came by boat to the underwater sculptures. Very few fish here, mostly sandy bottom; the sculptures are not attracting fish. If you're right there anyway, put your face in the water and look. Otherwise, no need to put this swim on your itinerary.

The beach was nice but there are a lot a better beach’s to visit. There is nothing special, I expected something to do with Jaws since it was filmed there but disappointed. Di not make a special trip to see it. Go to cable beach or other nicer beach’s

Water is gorgeous but it’s not significantly better than other available beaches. Water was pretty but too shallow to swim, when we were there it was somewhat crowded for a very small beach. Wasn’t really worth the trip. Primary value seems to be location in Clifton park, with it’s historical/cultural attractions. Good to combine but not worth a trip in of itself.

We stopped her while out exploring the island. There were only one or two other cars the whole time we were there. We walked along the shore for quite a ways and it was quiet and peaceful. There was a shipwrecked boat that was fun to see and beautiful views of the ocean. We had a nice time here and would go back again. It is free and there was plenty if places to park. It doesn't look like much from the road, but a short walk brought us to paradise. Worth a stop.

This was the first beach we explored on our trip to the Bahamas and we’re so glad we did. The water is gorgeous and later in the day a food and bar stand open on the beach. However there are no public restrooms and getting to this beach required a vehicle (we had a car rental).

Jaws beach is one of the nicest and safest beaches in the Bahamas. The sand is beautiful and white and there are few stones. You can find fish underwater and there are no big waves. Very suitable for a family with a child. There may be some kind of food tent, normal toilets and waste bins. But you won't see this anywhere in the Bahamas.

We went her and had a beautiful time one evening watching the sunset. Loved absolutely every minute of it. It's a small beach, and was only sparsely populated when we went there one evening.
There are many hiking path trail heads that start here.

If you are visiting Nassau or Paradise Island this is a must see!! Crystal clear water, shallow, no waves. Perfect beach, looks just like the pictures. Not crowded, at all. Only downside is no facilities or restrooms.
Call Lionel to take you here, or anywhere in Nassau/Paradise Island. The BEST cab driver around, reliable and trustworthy!!!
Traveled from the US and felt completely safe with him.
Tell him Arber, Mustache and Brian sent you!! Lionel: 242-814-8914
Really honest and great!!

Definitely the beach you want to go to if trying to get away from crowds. Especially at sunset when the scenery is unbelievable. This beach has a long stretch of coastline if you want to jogging as-well and with the right winds it can be compared to heaven on earth!!!

If we ever return to New Providence I will definitely make sure to spend some more time here and also come better prepared. We only spent a day at another beach ,Love Beach (see separate review), which was a completely different experience, though both great in their own ways.
Here there are restrooms, no restaurants but you gain plenty of shade under the trees so as long as you come with some food and water you will enjoy this place a lot - otherwise it felt like driving here was through mostly residential part of the island so not sure how close the nearby convenience/grocery store is to get some supplies - do your homework and come prepared as this one is a beauty!
Water here was super pretty and super peaceful, much different colors and experience than we had at the Love Beach - it's definitely out of the way but worth it!

I am staying on Paradise Island next weekend. How difficult is it to get to Jaws Beach by taxi? Ballpark cost for the taxi?
Written 29 September 2019
Rough guess, 60'ish. I did it as part of a private tour and was paying by the hour

Hi Sally. Sorry, just seeing this. We didn't go snorkeling so I can't give you an accurate answer. I still recommend going, and if you can take your snorkel, there are a lot of different types of fish around.

It's on the very west end of Nassau island, basically in the Clifton Heritage Park.

Is there a bus that runs from to port to this beach? This sounds like what we would really enjoy. We want to have a snorkel and beach day in Nassau.
