Nassau
The Bahamas without flying over it
Nassau, capital of the Bahamas, sits just 180 miles from Miami — making it one of the closest true Caribbean destinations from the US East Coast. Between the pink-and-white colonial architecture of Bay Street, the electric-blue water of Cable Beach, and the excess of Atlantis Paradise Island, Nassau appeals to cruise-trippers and week-long resort-goers alike.
