This commercial district is Nassau's busiest street and is full of interesting shops and restaurants.

If your vacation stay is in or near Nassau, you'll have time to explore the downtown Bahamian culture, museum, library, government buildings, food, entertainment, local craft and retail shopping on and around Bay Street. If your visit is a stop off of the cruise ship, this can't all be done in one day, unfortunately (so you'll have to choose your battles carefully!) A highlight for me is shopping at Effy - there are 3 stores on Bay Street. Yes, yes, I haven't forgotten that the gorgeous turquoise water of the Caribbean is the REAL jewel. But if you're interested in fine jewelry, try to research Effy Co. & designer before you travel. You really can go in "just to look", there's no high pressure, the staff is professional. You feel comfortable and don't have to rush. Hitesh P. works at the 3rd store closest to the wharf. What I admire about Hitesh is that he truly enjoys sharing his knowledge of gemology to educate others. There are a multitude of personalities to experience up & down Bay Street. And they are not all Bahamian... When I read reviews about what other travelers think & feel about their encounters, I have to smile. I'd love to end my day at a Bahamian family's dinner table listening to what they encountered with the travelers!

Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line is now offering daily cruises to Grand Bahamas Island. Their two ships, Grand Celebration and Grand Classica alternate daily departures from the Port of Palm Beach Florida. Each cruise is for three days and two nights. We sailed on the Classica and our expectations were exceeded! The fare is affordable making it possible for our family to upgrade to a generous suite with two rooms and a balcony. Meals are endless with choices of buffets and restaurants with fine tastes. The bar coupon package is terrific. Friendly staff adds to the enjoyment of games and shows. The full day in Freeport/Port Lucaya offers tours to swim with the dolphins, a day at the beach, shopping at the straw market, and much more. We chose a banana boat adventure from sea to lagoon with a tour of millionaires row. This is the perfect choice for those who want to sample a cruise on the high seas ...at times so smooth we could barely tell we were moving!
