We booked our Airbnb on Cable Beach thinking we’d be able to walk for a mile up and down the beach. We were so saddened to see that most of the sand was taken during the last tropical storm (Nicole) in November. Locals say the sand always comes back, but I believe that will take some time. Beautiful water, but miss the sand. You can however find beautiful sand in front of the BahaMar Resort and Breezes which is next to Goodman’s Bay- but watch your personal items while at Goodmans…

Nice beach. When I visited this beach there were a lot of people, which I didn't like so much. If you want a chair you will have to be early in the morning, but still had a great time. I wouldn't give this beach a 5 star review because of the fact that it's to crowded and I couldn't get a chair.

Cable Beach is a beautiful beach to walk along, as well as the view of the water, and if you want to watch the water sports happening. The water is also very refreshing to take a dip in. My only issue is that you can't go far or be on the beach for very long without someone bugging you to buy or pay for something. Unless it's later in the day or evening, someone is out there trying to get money off you.

This is a nice beach, and worth coming there for. It wasn't crowded at all, and it allowed us to have some good down time for straight up relaxation. There are a few concession stands for food and drink, and they have restrooms nearby. There are a few hotels along Cable Beach, so those visiting Nassau not by cruise ship might consider staying there to enjoy the proximity of this solidly good beach. We wished that we could've stayed there a bit longer.

Cable beach is pretty and if you set up East of the Breezes hotel you will feel a more chill vibe. When you arrive you will be bombarded with Umbrella and chair vendors as well as jet ski rentals and such. But after that they left us completely alone. We did get an umbrella because you need one in the summer for sure but outside of that the pressure was low and we just chilled. Also the guy at the food stand making wings and fries is a good value and the fries were excellent. A few of us snorkeled around and saw almost nothing. I think with all the activity of boats and such that the fish are elsewhere. But we did walk down in front of the Baha Mar and the snorkeling is better over there. People kept saying there were turtles out there but we didn't see them and we covered the whole area. All in all we really enjoyed ourselves. A word of warning as well. You will find guys that want to charge you to take you out to an island to see dolphins, turtles and fish. We got the skinny from a local and we chose not to go because the dolphins are literally in a cage and same with the turtles and you do get to snorkel but only with the fish. So if you disagree with captivity like we do you may want to bypass this activity as well.

We are so glad we didn’t believe the negative reviews of this beach. We took a cab from the port for about $10/pp and got there in about 20 min. We were approached by some locals to get chairs and umbrellas. We rented two chairs and an umbrella for $40 for the entire day. My husband found a drink stand where he got three drinks in a cantelope for $30. The beach is clean and beautiful. The water is SO warm and clear. We saw some fish and overall had a very relaxing beach day. We loved the whole island and highly recommend getting off the ship to explore!

Excellent few hours at the Cable Beach!l We picked up a taxi from the main high street (Jewellery area) Our Campbell our taxi driver was friendly and informative. He took 5 of us to Cable Beach from $35. On entering the beach we were approached for lounger hire. We got 2 beds and 1 umbrella for $30 The beach and sea were clean. This part of the beach was not crowded, we were near Breezes Hotel. Our taxi driver picked us up at 3 o’clock to get back to the cruise ship. We really enjoyed our day in Nassua
