Straw Market 
If you fancy haggling with the locals, and like buying cheap (and often fake) designer brands, visit the Straw Market, just a short walk away from the cruise pier. The name of the market came from its straw roof, but a fire caused the straw to be replaced by metal. After some hectic shopping visit popular nearby Senor Frogs, for an enjoyable tequila (or two!).

British Colonial Hilton
The British Colonial Hilton is a 5 minute walk from Prince George Wharf. The hotel was managed in the 1930s by Sir Harry Oakes, who helped make the hotel a favorite of high society. He himself was a friend of the Duke of Windsor. Oakes was murdered in 1943, and the notorious crime remains to this day unsolved. The hotel offers day passes for the facilities on its lovely beach frontage.

Queens Staircase
Queens Staircase, 66 steps cut out of sandstone, was built by slaves in 1793. The stairs give access to Bennet's hill and Fort Fincastle. The fort is also worth a visit, for its panoramic views of Nassau and the surrounds.

Atlantis Resort
Atlantis Resort is the mega-resort on Paradise island, easy to spot as you dock. Atlantis Resort day passes are on sale at their casino desk. The beach day pass includes lunch, and gives you access to the aquarium, the lagoon and west beach. However this pass does not include the water-park. You need a more expensive full day pass if you want to use their incredible water-park, which includes a very exciting 1 mile long swim along (artificial) river rapids. For a cheaper alternative, the beach along from Atlantis, pretty Cabbage beach, is free and accessible to all.
