The National Museum of Bahamas History is a precious key to the history and culture of the Bahamas. The collection of colonial artifacts, navigation equipment and folk exhibits in the museum vividly outlines the ups and downs of the archipelago. The mottled historical documents and exquisite art displays silently tell the unique customs and development of the Bahamas, allowing people to fully appreciate the vicissitudes of time and the humanistic charm of this sea area in a small space.
Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is another resort, with palm-beach beaches, high-end hotels, charming streets, fragrant rum, bright colors, and enthusiastic people. The main streets are quite nice, including the government, hospital, school, church, Governor's Palace, museum, and Queen's Steps (a Commonwealth country that was a British colony for a long time). They are clean and bright, with a tropical style, although you can see that ordinary people are not rich on the back. There are still many fun things to do and you can stay and explore them slowly~

Fort Fincastle is like a silent historical guard, standing on the coastline and witnessing the changes of time. The mottled walls and ancient artillery tell the glorious years of resisting foreign enemies in the past. Standing on the height of the fortress, the sea breeze with a salty smell blows on your face, and you can see the vast blue waves in the distance. You can witness the weight of history and enjoy the magnificent seascape of the Bahamas, showing the unique charm of vicissitudes and magnificence.
Fort Fincastle is located at the highest point in Nassau. It was built during the reign of Governor Dunmore in 1793. It is in the shape of a ship and has three cannons. Climb up the steps to the fort and you can see the magnificent pink buildings of Atlantis on Paradise Island and several large cruise ships anchored in the bay. The scenery is pleasant!

A great little museum full of history and culture! lots of work on display including a full boat, and many interactive features that really teach you facts about the pirates you may not have known previously. I loved that the staff were in character, and it was a great way to enjoy the culture in a fun way!
The former pirate's lair is now a holiday paradise!
The Pirates of Nassau Museum tells the story of real Caribbean pirates. It not only displays the weapons and ships used by Caribbean pirates when they captured the Bahamas, but also allows you to experience the feeling of being a pirate and the daily life of pirates. It is very memorable!

A small tour bus group stopped here. The concrete fortress is situated on a hill overlooking the cruise port. The corridor is narrow and steep, crowded with tourists and vendors. Drivers need to watch because tourists are not. The entrance fee to the fortress is very small ($3). But I decided to walk around the area and visit many shops and crafts. The local timber worker is very talented. He can personalize any purchase. There is a bathroom and a very small area in a nearby small building where you can buy drinks and snacks. There is a free parking lot around the fortress. The fare is very high and driving is the most difficult.
This castle is the oldest building in the Bahamas. It has a history of several decades, even hundreds of years. It is full of labyrinths in the interior of the castle. We must pay attention to the route and time when we walk and visit here.

Junkanoo Beach is a very pure and beautiful beach in Nassau. The sand on the beach is very fine and white. Walking on it feels like walking on cotton. The sea water is also very clear, with a light blue color. There is not a single impurity in the sea water. It is very pure and is definitely a good place for taking pictures.
This is a very beautiful beach in Naxiao. The sand here is white, and the sea water has distinct colors and is very clear. The beach is full of large and small lounge chairs and awnings. It is really relaxing to come here to sunbathe, step on the sea, and laugh in the water.

This is a South American zoo, where many animals unique to South America live. At the same time, there is also a strong marine culture here. The stars here are dolphins and flamingos, one in the sky and the other in the sea, which are very characteristic of Central and South America and are very popular with tourists and children.
This is a small zoo with not many animal species, mostly birds. You can see flocks of flamingos and very strange-looking toucans. There are also some South American rabbits, which are super fat and lazy, like little lambs. In short, they are very cute and very suitable for girls.

One of the best public beaches in , right next to many of the high end hotel private beaches. Rent a beach chair to layout for $50 pesos for the day (don't pay more, though they will try to convince you to do so). …
