We drove past it because the tour guide was like nah. I wished I took a pic of the cave but my family was being very difficult and suspicious of everything so I couldn’t do my normal exploration thing I like to do on vacation. The cave entrance had a signed that looked foreboding: ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. Bahamian tour guide lady who I didn’t care for said she wouldn’t go there and she kept dissing the “Cave Beach” because it was tiny and nothing there. She persisted on Love Beach which I really didn’t want to go but my group was annoying and wanted to be at beach asap but also didn’t want to pay $5 at Love Beach. Wished I could have checked it out fully but the tour guide persuaded everyone that it was a not the great of a beach.

The beaches around Nassau, as well as the water, are pristine and Cave Beach is no exception. The cave is the main draw, but the beach is nice as well. The cave is worth seeing on its own, but then you can jump across the street to a nice beach and amazing ocean swim and relaxing beach.
