Nassau offers the perfect blend of accessible Caribbean tourism and authentic Bahamian culture. The coastal areas, resort zones, and Cable Beach are flat and excellent for strollers. Downtown has some colonial-era narrow streets, but the waterfront and modern areas are very accessible. Bahamian culture is incredibly welcoming to families - children are celebrated everywhere. The challenge is cruise ship crowds during port days, but timing visits carefully reveals a relaxed island paradise perfect for families.
