Airline and stopovers

Best time to visit
Nassau is a beach destination all year, but skip September and October if you can (Atlantic hurricane season). November to April is ideal: dry weather, pleasant temperatures (24–28°C) and lower humidity. Winter flights are more in demand, but you'll find competitive prices if you book ahead. May to August is low season, hot, humid and rainy, but fares drop if you don't mind tropical weather.
What to do when you arrive
Nassau airport is 20 minutes from town. Head to Cable Beach or Paradise Island for snorkelling and diving. The Blue Hole, Exuma Cays and Pig Beach (beaches with wild pigs) are full-day excursions. Downtown Nassau has markets, duty-free shops and criolla restaurants. The Atlantis Resort is famous, but not essential to enter, there are good public beaches nearby. Pack strong sun cream: Caribbean sun is unforgiving.
