Load the muskets and prep the peg leg for a visit to Nassau's acclaimed Pirate Museum. The younger ones are bound to love getting involved in a swashbuckler showdown and gawping up at the recreated pirate ship. Plenty more family fun is waiting for those who've bagged their Nassau vacation rentals on Paradise Island. There, you can ride the gushing slides of the Aquaventure Water Park, meet stingrays and snapping sharks in the Marine Habitat at Atlantis, or try your luck in the countless games rooms and casinos.
Guided bus tours of the whole of New Providence Island are one of the best ways to take in the whole shebang of fascinating sights here. You'll whiz past pirate forts and see glowing governor's mansions, drive out to the scintillating beaches that line the Caribbean Sea and learn loads about the Bahamian way of life. Talking of the Bahamian way of life, you can also hop to Straw Market to haggle for islander souvenirs, or head across to Potters Cay for a lesson in conch cooking and fish frying.
Nassau's location in the heart of the western Caribbean means it has the same tropical climate as many of the other top destinations in the region. Scorching heat in the summer months between June and August can usher in a series of storms that last until the end of September. That means most visitors will search for Nassau vacation rentals in the winter, which typically starts in earnest in November and finishes up around May. There are some peak times to watch out for, around Christmas and Spring Break – it might be trickier to bag your stay of choice then.
Nassau sprawls over almost the entire of its host island, New Providence. For decades it's been known for its pretty location, encompassing the sloshing waters of the Caribbean Sea, and a backcountry of glistening tropical ponds and palm forests. You can't miss a trip to the coast here. Beaches start with the brilliant strips on Paradise Island just to the north of the capital, and continue on to the more secluded sands of Adelaide Beach on the southern shores. Spots like the Rose Island Reef and the Gambier Deep Reef are home to coral gardens and marine life.
Fly into Nassau (NAS-Nassau Intl.), the closest airport, located 8.1 mi (13 km) from the city center.
Families with children will have plenty of options for kid-friendly fun in Nassau. Vacation homes are available near places like the Ardastra Gardens, Zoo and Conservation Centre, a conservation zoo with marching pink flamingos, parrots, and tropical surrounds, and Arawak Cay, a seaside strip with food stands, restaurants, and shops. Kids will also like Clifton Heritage Park, a park with hiking trails, an Amerindian cave, ruins of a cotton plantation, and beaches.
Nassau is an ideal destination for a couple’s retreat. Vacation rentals can be found near places like the National Art Gallery of the Bahamas, a museum showing Bahamian art and history in an elegant mansion, and Queen’s Staircase, a staircase carved by slaves from limestone as a shortcut to Fort Fincastle. Fort Charlotte, an 18th-century limestone fort with moats and bridges to experience on a guided tour, is another highlight for couples.
