Travel Tips

You'll definitely have to checkout the Potter's Cay Dock beneath the Paradise Island bridge. The fisherman pull their boats up and sell off the backs of their boats and from little market stands. There are other vendors as well... fruit, vegetables, nick knacks, beer, etc. It's a good experience, especially if you have kids because they will have a chance to see how conchs are shelled, and most venders will offer for you to try some of the more exotic foods. It's a fun and definitely educational experience! But you need to go there fairly early in the morning. By lunchtime, many of the vendors have closed-up, and like any fish market, there's a "fresh" factor to consider. :P

I've been there a bunch of times over the years... last time, like you, was with a cruise.

If you weren't on a cruise, I would suggest that you take a supply boat or charter your way out to one of the more remote islands... that way, you'd experience a much richer & different culture. Perhaps you could consider this trip a primer... and head back soon with a less restrictive itinerary?

You'll see from the deck of your boat, as your ship is docking, that the amount of American & Canadian commercial influence in Nassau and Paradise Is. is staggering. This is going to make it hard for you to see much that isn't touristy.

One thing you might want to consider, if you really do want to avoid the regular tourist sites... is rent a car for the day. I did. I think it cost me around $50.00. I called them from my cell phone as we were disembarking, and the rental company was sitting at the dock waiting for us... this will give you a chance to sightsee the island without a destination (and to drive on a British road system)!

If you have more questions, feel free to toss an email my way via my profile... I'd be glad to help or to answer any additional questions that I can.

Enjoy your trip!
