The islands' most popular destinations are
New Providence - site of the capital
Nassau - nearby
Paradise Island , and
Grand Bahama and its vacation towns of
Freeport and
Lucaya . Both New Providence, with its
Cable Beach and
South Beach resort areas, and
Grand Bahama offer glamorous accommodations, enticing nightlife, fine restaurants and shopping and, of course, great beaches. Some travellers, however, may prefer the quiet, remote charms of one of the so-called
Out Islands such as
Abaco, Andros , the
Exumas or
Cat Island , where the accommodations are more rustic and the beaches and reefs virtually deserted.
