Cabbage Beach is the most unsafe beach i have ever been on. When you walk onto the beach you get approached by the worst sort of people trying to sell you drugs and they don't leave you alone ever. The people who run the attractions on the island (jet skies, banana boats, etc) are horrible at their jobs. They give you no instructions and just ...
We wanted to do an affordable shore excursion. The cruise line (which we love), said public beaches were not safe. HA! I wouldn't stay after dark though... I asked all morning at local shops in Nassau. 8 of 10 locals said Cabbage beach was safe, clean, & wonderful! They were right!

This is a great public beach. It was only 4 dollars by taxi from the Cruise Terminals compared to almost 15 to go to Cable Beach. You can rent chairs and umbrellas on the beach from the locals. Asking price was 10 for chairs and 20 for umbrella. They will bargain if you like. The locals also sell drinks in a coconut it was 10 dollars for one drink ...

snorkling at east end of cabbage beach -snorkling cove
Ask the locals where the snorkling cove at the east end of cabbage beach. there is a big rock at eastern end of cabbage beach there are a lot of colorful fish around the cove under the rock. you need to walk about 2 mile on the cabbage beach from Atlantis to the snorkling cove. There is not much shade around and make sure you put on a lot of sunscreen

Short ride to the beach from ship. One of the nicest beaches i have been to. The sand is perfect,the water is bluer than blue,and had a lot of fun in the waves.All you can drink for 10 bucks. Very friendly locals. Every thing you would want on a vacation.

PARADISE!!!

I visited Cabbage Beach before there was a bridge to Paradise Island. I've traveled to many beaches worldwide - nothing has ever compared to Cabbage Beach. It is "PERFECT" in every sense of the word. I will never forget it's beauty and I've longed to be there over and over. There are really no words to describe its beauty.
