welcome to Nassau Bahamas sign

Located on New Providence Island, Nassau has an attractive harbour, a colorful blend of old world and colonial architecture, a busy port, and a tropical climate.

Nassau developed directly behind the port area. New Providence provides 200 km of relatively flat and low-lying land intersected by low ridges (none of which restricted settlement). In the centre of the island there are several shallow lakes that are tidally connected.

The city's proximity to the United States (290 km east-southeast of Miami, Florida) has contributed to its popularity as a holiday resort. The Atlantis resort on nearby Paradise Island accounts for more tourist arrivals to the city than any other hotel property. The mega-resort employs over 6,000 Bahamians, and is the largest employer outside government.

Nassau features a tropical monsoon climate with relatively consistent temperatures throughout the course of the year. Summertime temperatures reach about 32 degrees Celsius (90 degrees Fahrenheit) and the winter months have daytime temperatures between 73 and 81F, rarely falling below 59F.

The bar on the beach in the photo below had "All you can drink" drinks (up to 200 drinks) for only $30. The two RV Gypsies wonder if anyone ever made it to 200 drinks and survived.

Yeah Right! Karen Duquette could not even do that in her U.S. Navy days.

Below: Karen Duquette wanted to go in the water, but Lee Duquette did not, so they just relaxed on the beach for awhile.
