All About Nassau

"Nassau" typically refers to both the capital city of the Bahamas, located on New Providence Island, and its tiny neighbor, Paradise Island. England gained control of the archipelago in 1718 and governed it until 1973, when it became an independent nation.

If you haven't taken a Nassau vacation in a while, it's time to return. Since the 1990s, the country has been in a period of expansion. Today's visitors will find an island-style wonderland boasting better infrastructure, freshly remodeled resorts, and low crime.

Start your Nassau vacation in the capital city and enjoy the vibrant mix of cultures by way of England. Stroll the cobblestone streets to admire the bright-pink Georgian-style buildings. Then, brush up on your history at the Pompey Museum, which explores the history of slavery in this region, and the Pirates of Nassau.

Next, it's time to get a healthy dose of Vitamin D. Beaches abound on both islands but the main attraction is the mega-resort Atlantis. Motor over to Paradise Island on one of the two bridges and frolic in the 141-acre waterscape, Aquaventure, featuring a mile-long river ride and a faux-Mayan temple. You can also swim with the dolphins, meet a sea lion, and hit the beach for low-tech sunny fun.
