Getting There

- From the cruise port: Atlantis is about 7 km away. Take a taxi or book a HOP ride across the Paradise Island bridge.
- From downtown Nassau: it is the same bridge, so it is a short ride rather than a walk with beach bags.
- From Atlantis: the beach is on the same island, so ask at the resort for the way to the beach.
Best Time to Go
Go early in the morning if you want more space. Beaches near Nassau fill up on days when several cruise ships are in port, so check the ship schedule if you can.
Tips
