Cable Beach

Cable Beach is a strand in Nassau, the Bahamas, stretching several kilometers along the island's northern coast with shallow turquoise water and soft sandy shores. The waterfront features numerous hotels, resorts, and dining establishments that line the sand, creating an integrated resort community.

The strand took its name from a submarine cable laid in the 1800s connecting the United States to the islands. Development accelerated through the 20th century as tourism grew, transforming it from a quiet coast into a destination for visitors.

The strand is easily accessible on foot with shallow, gentle waters that suit swimmers of all levels. Paved pathways and ready access to amenities like showers and restroom facilities make for a straightforward visit.

The water here is remarkably shallow and clear, revealing broad sandbars at low tide that look like natural islands. These areas invite wading and offer a rare glimpse of what lies on the seafloor.
