Is it safe to walk to Junkanoo Beach?

[kvickers]

Should we be concerned about safety when walking to this public beach from the ship? Planning to walk there with our kids but this would be our first time off the ship in Nassau. Have heard some concerns regarding pushy vendors and safety at this port. Any feedback from those who have been there would be appreciated!

Walking directly (avoid side streets) to Jankanoo will be safe.

Enjoy your port stop there. :)

Thanks for your response!

 

Is it easy to find your way there? Or is it easy to get lost along the way?

Not sure how this thread got to the Jamaica board. Nassau is not in Jamaica.

 

However, walking along the street past the colonial Hilton hotel is very safe. Yes there are vendors on the beach, but you can ignore them or simply say no. Most are friendly, none are out to attack you or your family. Just a bit on the aggressive side trying to make a living in a competitive environment.

Oops! That was an oversight on my part! I will move to the correct area. Thanks for your response though.
