Frequently Asked Questions

In a working port area, among cranes and containers, far from any beach. Let us be straight about it from the gangway: nothing here is done on foot. It all starts with a taxi.
The simplest plan: Port Lucaya Marketplace and its beach, about twenty minutes away, for a day of market, swimming and fried fish. The more curious push on to Lucayan National Park, roughly 45 minutes out.
About 16 km, or 20 to 25 minutes by road. The marketplace gathers shops, craft stalls, bars and restaurants around a marina, and Lucaya Beach is a five-minute walk away.
By taxi. Drivers charge by zone: confirm the fare before setting off and carry US dollars in small bills. Ship-organised shuttles guarantee a schedule, for a few dollars more.
It protects one of the longest underwater cave systems in the world, about 40 km from the terminal, some 45 minutes by road. Wooden boardwalks lead to the sinkholes of Ben's Cave, then cross the mangrove to Gold Rock Beach, which reveals itself fully at low tide.
Lucaya Beach, the most convenient, with chairs and umbrellas for hire. Taino Beach, a little further east, draws families with its shallow water. Xanadu, closest to the terminal at about ten kilometres, fronts the hotel that sheltered Howard Hughes in the 1970s.
Because it is a planned city, created in the 1950s as a free trade zone to attract commerce and industry. The Bahamas' second city spreads across a grid of wide pine-lined avenues; the interest of the call lies elsewhere, along the south coast and in the wooded interior.
A garden about twenty minutes by road from the terminal: waterfalls, shaded paths, a small wooden chapel and a stone labyrinth where parakeets call to each other from tree to tree.
The Bahamian dollar, at par with the US dollar, and English. Keep small US bills for taxis and craft stalls.
Yes, provided you accept the taxi. Taino Beach with its shallow water, the Garden of the Groves and the dolphin programmes at the UNEXSO centre, right by the Lucaya marketplace, easily fill a day.
