Tahiti Beach

Bahamas, Central Abaco, Elbow Cay

A thin strip of white sand in the midst of a sparkling turquoise sea, Tahiti Beach is something you must see to believe. Located on the island of Elbow Cay, the strip of sand is accessible only by boat and bike paths, which allows visitors to escape crowds. To access the island, walk or rent a bike and follow the paths from Hope Town — we recommend renting from The Bike Shop for friendly service and colorful bikes with baskets. You can also hire a charter boat to access the beach, using Island Marine Boat Rentals, a friendly and knowledgeable boat rental business since 1961. Be sure to plan ahead and bring your own water, as there are no food or drink vendors on the beach. If you’ve forgotten to pack food, don’t fret! Cracker P’s Bar & Grill is only a half mile away, serving both Caribbean and American cuisine, and specializing in chicken and hamburgers. After a relaxing day on the isolated beach, explore local attractions including Cetacean Museum, a museum dedicated to the long, controversial, and complicated history of whaling. After the museum, take a stroll to the Hope Town Lighthouse, a red and white striped historical landmark that is one of the last manual lighthouses in the world — burning Kerosene oil. Tahiti Beach is a breathtaking strip of sand that deserves a spot on everyone’s bucket list!

Cabbage Beach

Bahamas, New Providence, Nassau

Located on the lovely Paradise Island, Cabbage Beach is one of the best beaches in the Bahamas. The waters are unbelievably clear, with clear, blue skies giving them a hint of color. The creamy, white sand is soft between your toes as you stroll along the beach, passing umbrellas, happy couples, and a line of resorts.

Cabbage Beach is watersport-central, with jet-skiing, snorkeling, and parasailing for the whole family. Parasailing is an especially popular activity; you can rent your own gear, hire a boat operator, or even book a lesson with a professional, giving you the opportunity to experience the best ride possible. Sunbathing is the second-most popular activity, as Cabbage Beach is sure to leave you bronzed and beautiful. To cool off after a jam-packed day on the water, grab a cocktail at the beachfront bar, or head to the less-crowded, northwestern end of the beach, where isolation and relaxation go hand-in-hand. For a classy, seaside dinner, head to the upscale restaurant, Dune, which is a part of the One & Only Ocean Club.

We recommend paying for a beach club or hotel room so that you can enjoy a wide range of amenities while on the beach; otherwise, the nearest restroom in ten minutes away and the nearest lounge chair is off limits to non-hotel guests. Grand Central Hotel and Graycliff Hotel are affordable options that are near the beach, and the incredible Sunrise Beach Club and Villas is the best resort that’s a short drive from the shoreline. Cabbage Beach is truly a dream to all its visitors, emulating the very paradise that you've always dreamed of experiencing. Treat yourself to the sandy bliss that the Bahamas promises.
