Located on the New Providence island of The Bahamas, Cable Beach is situated on the northern coast and is only 10 minutes away from Nassau city.
With an impressive stretch of over 2 miles, the beach earned its name from being the site of the first submarine cable link.
Though the sandy shores resemble a picturesque postcard, its status as the most popular beach in the area means that it can be quite crowded.
Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, such as snorkelling and renting jet-skis, where they may encounter stingrays and other aquatic wildlife.
Additionally, there is a vibrant nightlife scene and casino located in the vicinity.
Visitor reviews highlight that visitors enjoy the easy access to Cable Beach and the helpful team providing chairs and umbrellas. However, visitors complain that most of the beach is taken up by Sandals resort, leaving only a small public area, and that the beach is sometimes littered. One reviewer recommends walking the neighborhood and trying the local conch.
Visitors to Cable Beach often stay in the nearby area of Nassau, which is just a short drive away and offers a range of accommodations. Many prefer to stay in resorts located directly on Cable Beach, allowing easy access to the vibrant nightlife and casino options.
