Connecting the Past with the PresentThe history that lies beneath the TransAtlantic cable proves to be a fascinating one. In 42 years, cable networks have reached almost 300,000 miles of line worldwide. The line from Florida to Nassau brought attention to what was, up until 1907, merely a beach with no name. Taking its name from the Atlantic Cable, Cable Beach is now known as the “ultimate playground in the sun.”
Accommodations in Cable Beach can appeal to all travelers. Since children or singles are not permitted at the Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa & Resort, it creates the perfect atmosphere for a romantic retreat. Honeymooners and couples alike can enjoy each other’s company while taking advantage of the resort’s exclusive offers, such as an excursion to its private island, Sandals Cay. If you have a different kind of travel in mind, don’t miss the spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean from your room at the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort or Wyndham Nassau Resort. And, if you looking for a place that deals Vegas-style entertainment, these resorts surround one of the largest casinos in the Caribbean, the Crystal Palace Casino. Keep in mind; wherever you stay in Cable Beach, the sand and water are always just a few steps away! |
