Enjoy our beautiful sandy beach or go snorkeling around our reef without even getting into a car! Complete privacy and immaculate surroundings in a gated community with on site security. Located only minutes from the Cable Beach strip in Western New Providence, Tranquility Nassau offers easy access to hotels, restaurants, shopping, recreational facilities and the excitement of numerous casinos. Safe, privately-owned Jitneys will take you anywhere on the island for $1. They come by the driveway every five minutes. Just take the #10 Jitney to downtown Nassau for duty free shopping on Bay Street. When you are ready to return, board another #10 bus for your return trip to your front door. Just across the street from Tranquility Nassau are two wonderful restaurants and a full grocery store is a 10 minute walk away. For any activity like fishing, sailing, snorkeling, or scuba diving, they will pick you up at the door. You will want to visit Atlantis Casino and Hotel on Paradise Island. They want to visit Nassau and adjoining Cable Beach and Paradise Island. Freeport/Lucaya is the runner-up, but Nassau, on New Providence Island, is the place if you want to be at the center of it all: the best shopping, the best entertainment, the most historic attractions--plus some of the best beaches in The Bahamas. The capital of The Bahamas, the historic city of Nassau is a 35-minute flight from Miami. Despite the development and the modern hotels, a tropical indolence still hangs over the city. The commercial and banking hub of The Bahamas, Nassau lies on the north side of New Providence, which is 21 miles long and 7 miles wide at its greatest point. Cable Beach, a stretch of sand just west of the city, is lined with luxury resorts--in fact, the Nassau/Cable Beach area has the largest tourist infrastructure in The Bahamas, though there's another concentration of luxury hotels on Paradise Island.

When you're based in Nassau/Cable Beach, you have an array of water sports, golf, tennis, and plenty of duty-free shopping nearby--and that's not to mention those powder-soft beaches. In addition, the resorts, restaurants, and beaches of Paradise Island are just a short distance away. (Paradise Island, which lies just opposite Nassau, is connected to New Providence Island by a toll bridge--$2 for cars, 25¢ for pedestrians; there's also frequent ferry and water taxi service between Nassau and Paradise Island.) As the sun goes down, Cable Beach and Paradise Island heat up, offering fine dining, glitzy casinos, cabaret shows, moonlight cruises, dance clubs, and romantic evening strolls. We'd confine that evening stroll to Cable Beach or Paradise Island, though, and not the streets of downtown Nassau, which can be dangerous at night. The daylight hours have just as much to offer. After hitting the beach, you can head for the Straw Market, filled with vendors hawking straw goods and other handcrafts, and for Bay Street. Bay Street is legendary in the islands for its duty-free items, especially china, perfume, crystal, linens, jewelry, watches, leather goods, liquor, and more. The shops might draw a lot more business than the museums, but no city in The Bahamas is as rich in history as Nassau. The sights aren't to be ignored either. You can take a "royal climb" up the Queen's Staircase to Fort Fincastle. These 66 steps lead to a fort said to have been cut in the sandstone cliffs by slaves in the 1790s. Other Nassau attractions include Ardastra Gardens, which features 5 acres of landscaping and more than 300 exotic birds, mammals, and reptiles. Most popular among the wildlife are the trained pink flamingos, which march for audiences daily to their trainer's commands.
