Nassau: Pearl Island Beach Escape & Bahamian Lunch - Day Trip

3.4(214)5 hFree cancellationBy Pearl Island Bahamas

About this activity

No resort wristbands. No crowded day-pass lines. Just a relaxing day on a private island.

Escape Nassau’s busy beaches at Pearl Island, where two distinct beaches offer a choice between a lively atmosphere and a quiet retreat. Climb the working lighthouse for scenic views or swim in the warm, shallow bay. The short, scenic ferry ride from Nassau makes getting there easy.

Enjoy included kayaks, paddleboards, water mats, and a floating trampoline, plus a freshly prepared Bahamian lunch. Relax in a shaded area or beach chair, and freshen up with a freshwater shower between swims.

Want more adventure? Upgrade to snorkel over an underwater sculpture trail featuring a sunken plane, statues, and a boat.

Age minimum: 8 years old

Spend the day swimming, exploring, or unwinding by the water, away from Nassau’s crowds.
