Cabbage Beach From Nassau Cruise Port | We Walked to Paradise Island! | $8 Taxi Back
Looking for a beautiful FREE beach near the Nassau cruise port? Join us as we walk from the Nassau cruise terminal to Paradise Island and visit famous Cabbage Beach on our own - no cruise ship excursion needed. During our November 14, 2025 Nassau cruise stop, we skipped the guided shore excursion and walked from the cruise port across to Paradise Island, found the public access to Cabbage Beach, enjoyed the beach, and then took an $8 private taxi back to the cruise port. Cabbage Beach is one of the best-known beaches in Nassau and Paradise Island, with powder-soft sand, brilliant turquoise Atlantic water and a long shoreline beside the Atlantis Paradise Island area. The beach itself is publicly accessible, making it an appealing option for cruise passengers who want an independent Nassau beach day without buying an Atlantis beach excursion.
