Heading to Nassau for a week in a few days and was wondering if anyone had been there before and had any tips about the island itself. Going with my wife and kids (4 and 1.5yo) and my parents. Staying in a hotel with kitchen with a lagoon, pool and beach access (Sandy Port).
We are pretty well travelled in the Caribbean. I have a rental van booked to roam around. Planning on avoiding downtown Nassau on days with multiple cruise ships. We are avoiding Atlantis except for a free evening in the aquarium for the kids.
Basically looking for recommendations for good eats (groceries, markets, restaurants, street food shacks). Not too expensive or classy necessarily as I have a dinner for 2 booked at Nobu to keep the wife happy.
Nice, less travelled beaches that aren't crowded (we are beach snobs, and anti-social).
Also, fishing spots and tips for shore fishing. Planning on bringing very limited light tackle with me for small fish <10lb. Do I need a license?
None of the touristy spots are really appealing, just beaches and such for us. What things to avoid?
