Nassau Honeymoon

The more than 700 Caribbean islands that make up The Bahamas are a popular destination for vacationers and honeymooners from the United States and worldwide. Cruise passengers think of Nassau as a stopover for duty free and traditional market shopping as well as a nightlife hotspot. Even though the bars, clubs and casinos have given it a bit of a gritty reputation when compared with the rest of the Bahamas, Nassau is a jewel in itself with beautiful beaches and posh resorts to make your honeymoon a trip to remember. Nassau is the perfect destination for honeymooners who wish to relax on the beach, or take a snorkeling trip during the day, but still be close to nightlife and restaurants. The beaches near Nassau offer crystal clear water and beautiful stretches of white sand with the historic and bustling city is just a hop skip away.
