Fodor's Expert Review Junkanoo Beach

Right in downtown Nassau, this beach is spring-break central from late February through April. The man-made beach isn't the prettiest on the island, but it's conveniently located if you only have a few quick hours to catch a tan. Food and drink shacks line the beach and you can rent lounge chairs, umbrellas and non-motorized water-sports equipment. Amenities: food and drink; parking (no fee); toilets; water sports. Best for: partiers; swimming.
