IgoUgo Travel Report: Nassau/Paradise Island: The Inside Scoop from Experienced Travelers

For those who want a convenient Caribbean getaway, Nassau is a natural choice. Just 50 miles from the Florida coast, North Americans combat the winter blues in the land of pink sand and pink flamingos. Clear waters offer snorkeling and diving, excellent fishing, and boating galore. If you're feeling lucky, hit the casinos on Paradise Island; if you want culture, explore Nassau's historic buildings. Yes, it's often kitschy, and yes, those cruise ships just keep a'coming. But in just one sunny Bahamian day, you can lounge beachside, play golf, shop yourself silly, and finish the day with a stiff Bahama Mama that's sure to leave you smiling.
