Arawak Cay This is perhaps one of the best places to absorb authentic Bahamian life in the company of locals and traditional Bahamian fare. There is an abundance of fried fi sh, seafood and other local food served in a laid-back, friendly atmosphere patronized by both visitors and Bahamians. The cay was man-made from sand dredged from Nassau harbor in 1969 and now this stretch with its colourful shops and food trucks is a popular attraction where you’ll fi nd some of the best fried fi sh in the islands. It is located 15 minutes from downtown Nassau and all roads lead here, especially on Sundays. PLACES OF INTEREST Blue Lagoon Island Blue Lagoon Island (Salt Cay) is a private island where visitors happily go in droves to enjoy an always-fantastic day with dolphins, sea lions, an array of stunningly beautiful beaches complete with swaying palms and a diverse range of water sports.
