Nassau's Sister Island - Paradise IslandVenture east on Bay Street from the city's core and you come to a bridge that takes you to "Paradise," with posh luxury resorts (including the world famous Atlantis Bahamas Resort), the Caribbean's largest casino, plus exciting nightlife on an island formerly called "Hog." The bridges (there are actually two - one for coming and one for going) can be walked but most people cab over. Speedy boat taxis are also available which connect with dockside limo services on both islands. As you go east, just past the bridge to Paradise Island, there is the boating heart of Nassau / Paradise Island with a number of marinas with boats for hire. The East End is also a delightful residential area showing the full flavor of Nassau's colonial past in its architecture & horticulture. Big houses with wide breezy verandas face the sea.

Riviera, with its luxury
hotels, casinos and world famous beachfront.
Cable Beach got its name in 1907 from the laying here of transatlantic
telephone cables linking what was an isolated Bahamas to the rest of the world.
But these days, the world comes to The Bahamas to see what it has been missing. |
