| For the average tourist in Nassau, activity centers around Bay Street. It is jammed block after block with souvenir shops, jewelry stores, banks and on the side streets, a few eating choices. |
 |
| Nassau's famous Straw Market is along Bay Street too where there are literally hundreds of vendors vying for your business. |
 |
| When the Bahamas finally built a new terminal area a few years ago, they also constructed this waterfront concert arena. We've not seen it in use during our port visits but we know the very first EDSea cruise used it for an all-day DJ festival for ship guests only. |
 |
| Now called the British Colonial Hotel, this was formerly the British Colonial Hilton and Sheraton British Colonial prior to that. And as you can see on the near end, home to the popular local outpost of Señor Frog's. |
 |
| The water tower in the background up on Bennet's Hill was damaged in a hurricane more than 20 years ago and has been closed to tourists ever since. It was supposed to reopen this past December for tourists to visit the very top for great views of Nassau but as of this past weekend, has sadly still not reopened. Hopefully very soon. That imposing building in front of the water tower is the U.S. Embassy for The Bahamas. |
