Get to know Cable Beach

Cable Beach is the most popular stretch of sand on New Paradise Island, just ten minutes west of Nassau with two-and-half miles of fantastic beach to explore. Adjacent to the beach are five luxury resorts, a golf course, and the Bahama’s biggest casino. (If you’re wondering about the name, it came from the undersea telegraph cable that came ashore in 1892.) In the 1940s and 1950s, when the modern era of tourism was beginning in the Bahamas, Cable Beach was the primary destination for visitors and where the expats lived. Notable homes from the era include the estate of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and the then-home of the U.S. Ambassador. In recent decades, Cable Beach has become significantly less rarified, and many properties here are now condos rather than single-family homes, but it remains a sought-after spot for its convenient and central location.

Living in The Bahamas

Composed of more than 700 islands, cays, and islets, The Bahamas has an island for every mood. The calm, warm, jewel-colored waters of the surrounding Atlantic Ocean define the ebb and flow of life here and Bahamians wake up knowing they live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. New Providence Island, home to the capital of Nassau, is the economic and commercial center of Bahamian life and just an hour’s flight away from Miami. There are multiple residential communities here that vary in style, ranging from the decorous pastel charms of Lyford Cay to the extravagant mansions of Albany, as well as multiple luxury high-rises. The islands of the Bahamas stretch for more than 500 miles and as you move farther south, the Out (or Family) Islands become less and less populated, many without a single human inhabitant. Others, like Eleuthera and Harbour Island, are pockets of sophisticated seclusion, while the Exumas, a chain of 365 islands, offer peaceful privacy and pristine beaches.
