Planning a trip for spring break can be difficult. You’re trying to locate that perfect spot for adventure, fun and relaxation, all combined into one vacation. The intriguing Bahamas offers all three along with a reggae atmosphere that brings everything to life!
With so many beautiful beaches of soft white sand and clear blue water, you’ll be able to take a breather and relax from the hectic college life during your spring break.
Nassau, the Heartbeat of the Bahamas
The city of Nassau is the capital and center of the Bahamas, and is located on New Providence Island. The island was once a piracy center, but has now become a tourist magnet with old fortresses to explore, resort vacation areas and a little bit of everything for the spring breaker to enjoy.
You’ll be able to choose between two different types of beaches. One offers excitement with water sports, luxury hotels, sun bathing, swimming, the works! The other type of beach is the deserted beach with gorgeous glistening sand and clear blue water where you can take a break from the cares of life and get swept away by the scenery. One day you might want to join the busy
beach scene with some friends. The next day you can relax and meditate to the peaceful sounds of the ocean.
You can enjoy either experience during your stay.
