Caves Beach

Situated on the north shore of New Providence Island, this beach lies west of Cable Beach and is therefore considerably less crowded. It is an appealing little beach with a narrow spread of white sand that does not get a lot of tourist traffic, so it is ideal if you need some space away from the throngs of vacationers at the other beaches closer to town. It gets its name from the limestone caverns that loom alongside the beach. Sculpted by waves, the caves are said to have provided shelter for early Indians - handy for beach goers who need to escape the sun or rain.
