CleverFirst Posted December 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Junkanoo seems a little more crowded than I'd prefer. We aren't partiers, we're nature lovers. Far West Cable Beach, the free entrance just west of Melia is a little out of the way for us. We'd prefer easy walking distance. We'll be eating a late breakfast, taking a Jitney to astrada gardens, stopping at fish fry for lunch, and want just a quiet simple beach to spend a few hours. Do not need drinks/snacks/amenities. Any info on Saunders beach? Back in 2012 it was listed as a dangerous construction zone, but I have seen more positive reviews lately on other sites.

mjkacmom Posted December 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I don't think I've ever seen a walkable public beach besides Junkanoo mentioned here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleverFirst Posted December 4, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted December 4, 2016 vbscoot was it crowded? Were there an excessive number of vendors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaShelle2 Posted December 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Saunders beach is my fave in Nassau. It is too far to walk from port, so take the $1.25 jitney there. It is very quiet and only a few locals there. I felt safe, but keep an eye on your things since it will be less crowded. They had very clean restrooms, some benches to sit on and there was a KFC across the street I believe. There were no vendors, no chair rentals, etc. The water is a little rocky, so not the best for swimming unless you go far out. I enjoyed exploring the little sea critters hiding among the rocks. The sand is pretty, clean and white. It is a hidden gem in Nassau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
