Where Not to Stay in the Bahamas

The Bahamas is a stunning vacation spot, but some neighborhoods in Nassau and Freeport are best avoided due to safety concerns. Tourists should be cautious in areas like Bain Town, Fox Hill, Pinewood Gardens, and the “Over-the-Hill” region south of Shirley Street in Nassau. These places can have higher crime rates, especially after dark.

Safe and Recommended Areas

Popular spots like Paradise Island, Cable Beach, the Exumas, Eleuthera, and Harbour Island are beautiful, secure, and tourist-friendly. Resorts and hotels in these locations offer world-class hospitality and peace of mind.
