Sting ray city was a lot of fun and gave a lot of information about sting rays. Captain Chester was very friendly and made our trip memorable! I would recommend this attraction!

We had no idea whatcto expect and we were pleasantly surprised. The Preserve is a class act with lots of educational opportunities or just a lovely walk through the Preserve. Everyone that visits the island of Eluethera should visit this Preserve. We spent 3 hours wondering the trails!

Lighthouse Beach

Reviewed By GeauxDoug - Baton Rouge, United States

We warily made the trek to Lighthouse beach in our Nissan SUV after reading numerous reviews of the treacherous terrain/road to get there. We are so glad we made the journey to this breathtaking beach. It is everything the reviews say and more. Once the paved road ends it is about 3.5 miles on a single lane rock/sand/gravel road which takes care to navigate. You must have good ground clearance. Lighthouse bay this is the first thing you will see and where where we parked. Then it’s a short walk to lighthouse beach. You will need a 4x4 to make it up the hill and over to lighthouse beach but the walk is not difficult. The first thing you should do is walk the path up to the lighthouse and take in the view from the rock cliffs as you can see lighthouse beach (Atlantic side) and Lighthouse Bay (Bay side) from one viewpoint, it’s incredible. From there pick your spot and camp for the day. There are no facilities and make sure to take plenty of water.

This is possibly one of the most amazing places on earth. You can walk for miles and miles into the ocean and never get above your waist. My daughters had so much fun collecting sand dollars. It was a very peaceful and beautiful beach to relax the afternoon away.

Love Beaches

Snorkeling hotspot only a 20 minute drive from downtown Nassau.

Reviewed By LqVu - New Jersey, United States

We walked to McDonald’s, which is a few blocks away from the cruise port, but found a sign in front saying it’s no longer an official bus stop. So we walked back to George St (corner of Bay St) and took the bus #10 (Jitney #10) all the way to Love Beaches. It runs along Bay St anyway and costs only $2/person. US dollars equal to Bahamian dollars, so you don’t need to exchange money. I asked the driver to drop us at Love Beaches. He said, “Don’t worry. It’s the last stop.” It took over 30 minutes with some stops for local folks to get in or out (I think most of them work for the resorts or business stores along the route). The bus was pretty clean with AC! Beautiful scenic view as it ran along the coast. We were dropped off in front of Nirvana Beach Bar at 10 AM. We went in and rented 2 chairs for $10. No umbrella needed. There were only 2 of us and a few folks. The waves were so strong so we did’t swim a lot. The gentleman who works there told us to just wait for a couple more hours... Then at around noon, the waves became much calmer. The water looked so nice and clear. We enjoyed swimming a lot for a few hours. More folks were arriving, and we got to know some of them came from the same cruise ship, but they had to pay a lot more for taxi. Nirvana Beach Bar has pretty big restrooms for changing clothes and showers. All are free for their customers. Beer and food have reasonable prices ($6/Heineken is not bad at all when you can use their facilities). Our trip only cost less than $30 for 2, much cheaper than cruise excursion or taxi). We had gone to the Atlantis and paid a lot more for “day pass” 10 years ago, so this time was a better experience for us.

This place is amazing. A very rough Atlantic ocean on one side and a very calm Caribbean on the other and the Blow hole is a must see also. Near the south end of the bridge

This is not your typical wreck dive. My first over/under wreck. Lots of sea life around. Loved it. Highly recommend doing it with Neal Watson.
