Cable Beach is a Bahamas Favorite

Cable Beach is your home away from home. It is lined with amazing resorts and has the largest tourist infrastructure in the Bahamas. The palm trees and white sands compliment the transparent blue water. The Nassau/Cable Beach area is well known for clean and powdery beaches. This is definitely what individuals look for when choosing a vacation spot.

Cable Beach typically attracts honeymooners, simply because the atmosphere is surrounded by relaxation. There are also many choices for fine dining and duty-free shopping. Cabaret shows at night combined with beautiful casinos make this a hot spot for people of any age, specifically young adults. An array of water sports coupled with easy transportation methods allow your visit to Cable Beach to remain stress-free.

One specific resort strategically located on the beach is called Breezes. At this resort all meals, entertainment and drinks are included. The best part is tipping is NOT permitted! There are activities on the beach that are also included; however, the water sports are not. But that’s okay because it is inexpensive to go parasailing or to rent a jet ski. Enjoying the amazing water on Cable Beach is one of my fondest memories of my recent honeymoon. The feeling of being high above the calm ocean looking down on the beauty of the Bahamas as I hang from a parachute was also a fantastic experience.

Not only is this area peaceful, but the history is astonishing. Cable Beach is world famous for the multitude of upscale resorts that line it. According to travel websites it was a beach with no name until 1907 when it became the landing point for the Trans-Atlantic cable, which stretched to connect the Bahamas to the mainland in Jupiter, Florida. Today, it’s the “ultimate playground for fun in the sun”.

To the casual observer in Nassau, the British influence is undoubtedly evident. The automobile drivers on the left side of the road, the reserved uniforms of the Royal Bahamian Police Force, and the changing of the guard ceremony at Government House are just a few examples. They show that Great Britain has played a big role in Nassau’s history.

West Africa has shaped this area, too. Among other things, it’s apparent in the emotively rhythmic Junkanoo festival. Although Nassau has been influenced by other countries, such as the United States of America and Haiti, its culture is distinctly Bahamian-a unique blend of British and African customs, traditions, and beliefs.

There are several beautiful beaches, however, Cable Beach should be highlighted as extraordinary! It is a must see, must visit beach. It offers so much to its visitors and guarantees a perfect vacation!
