Beaches

On average, The Bahamas enjoys 300 sunny days a year, with water temperatures around 80 degrees – absolutely perfect conditions for experiencing our miles of beautiful beaches. Powdery white sand and sparkling turquoise waters stretch as far as the eye can see, and calm, shallow coastal waters are perfect for splashing, snorkeling, and sailing.

These brilliant blue hues need to be seen to be believed. In fact, they’re truly out of this world: just ask Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. When asked about the views from the International Space Station, he said “The most beautiful to me are The Bahamas, the vast glowing reefs of every shade of blue that exists.”

A Room With a View

Start your day with a barefoot beach walk, coffee in hand. Admire sunset views from your balcony overlooking the sugar-fine white sands and crystal-clear waters. Many of Nassau & Paradise Island’s renowned resorts and intimate hideaways are beachfront properties, or located a short stroll away from the sand. No matter where you stay with us in Paradise, it’s mere minutes before you’ll see for yourself why our beaches are some of the most beloved in the world.
