Advantages: Paradise Island Disadvantages: Staying Too Long
. Christmas, sun, sea and sand! Rainy season between June and November; hurricanes usually bypass the Bahamas. The sea is turquoise/blue, the visibility is over 200 feet and water is warm. The sand is white and in some places pink. It is idyllic for holiday makers 90% of them are Americans. If you go to the beach early enough you will be able to collect the most marvellous seashells you have ever seen. The island is covered with magnificent flowering trees like the flamboyant with big scarlet flowers like the Poinsettias and the Jacarandas with blue flowers.

Paradise Island, and Cable Beach are both attractive resort areas kept in a fairly natural state. Actually, Paradise Island's Atlantis Resort is stunning - an oasis in the cold reality of modern Nassau. Why do people keep coming to the town? Mostly it's on cruise ships.
