So you have never been to a quiet Bahamian “Out Island?” Get the ‘out island experience’ right here on the island of New Providence! (Nassau is the old town, not the name of the island in case you did not know.) Take a leisurely drive past the airport to Coral Harbour, a lovely little residential fishing village on the south west coast. Along the ‘beach road’ you will find the Sand Bar (shhh, it’s a well-kept secret). Drinks are cheap like the plastic patio furniture, and the food is strictly “island style”. A Bahamian breakfast favorite is stew fish (savory tomato gravy that smothers fried fish, onion and a few pieces of potato) served with grits or ‘Johnny cake’. If you are calorie conscious try the Boil Fish instead. Once you try that you’re hooked for life! Afterwards take a walk on the beach and relax. There is no traffic or hullabaloo here, just birds, fish, and maybe some stingrays swimming by.
