Sunday in Nassau?

[lowcountrycruisin]

We will be on the Sunshine sailing August 9 and will be in Nassau on Sunday the 10th. Will the shops be open? Any suggestions on what to do. We have done Atlantis. Thanks for any ideas!

We are on that cruise too and are going to do the zoo and city tour. I'm saving my pennies for St. Thomas!

We have been to Nassau so many times and done pretty much all the excursions. We typically just love to walk around the shops then walk down to Junkanoo Beach, order a frozen drink and just relax for a few hours. We finish our afternoon, by walking to the end of the street to the fish fry area and have a great seafood lunch.

The shops near the port will be open. We were there on a Sunday earlier this year. We walked to Queens Staircase & Fort Fincastle, seeing other sights going & coming back. It's $1 to go in the fort. A fancy church was holding service when we passed by. We then walked to Junkanoo Beach. It's not the cleanest or nicest beach, but it fit our needs: a place to lay out and relax on a beach. My friends were on a tight budget, so it was a nice cheap day for them: $1 each. We probably walked between 2 & 3 miles by the time we were back to the ship, but we're all hikers, so that was nothing.

Great question...now you have me wondering if the straw market will be opened.

We've been to Nassau several times on land vacations and love it.

 

My suggestions:

 

Pirate Musuem - downtown. Cheap. Kind of cheesy, but where better to see pirate stuff?!

 

Hard Rock café downtown.

 

Blue Lagoon Island. Ticket includes ferry ride. Takes about 20 min. We saw lots of cruise passengers when were there. Easy to catch a ferry back. They have a beach day pass and dolphin swims, etc

 

Segway Tour. (bestonbahamas.com)

 

Straw market.

 

Carriage rides around downtown (about $10 each)

 

Self guided walking tour. Scubagirl on tripadvisor has one posted. Lots of parliament buildings, etc. Queen's staircase is neat.

 

Poop Deck at the base of the toll bridges is really good. Sit outside & watch the local boats.

Thanks for all the ideas. Now to decide what to do!
