Little San Salvador Island, also known as Half Moon Cay, is a private island accessible by cruise ships. The island gets its nickname from its crescent-shaped beach, with luxury cabanas and trails found along the beach and its surroundings. Walk the nearby trails to spot native birds, as well. © Ramunas Bruzas | Dreamstime.com
Paradise Island isn’t just home to Atlantis. The island also features Nassau Harbour Lighthouse, an early 19th-century lighthouse, the oldest in The Bahamas; while in disrepair, it remains open.

Nassau is considered one of the most popular cruise ports in the world. Because of its popularity, Nassau Cruise Port is currently undergoing reconstruction to transform it into a visual masterpiece. The $300 million redevelopment includes expansions and a new terminal. © Costin79 | Dreamstime.com
