Junkanoo Beach, also known as "Spring Break Beach" for obvious reasons, is not as sprawling as some of the other Bahamas beaches. Nor is it as pretty as the postcard beaches. Its proximity to Nassau's lively downtown and the cruise ship docks makes it an easy option for vacationers who want to find a beach on foot. One of the few beaches that has public toilets and changing facilities, it is popular among locals and vacationers alike. A cluster of stands sell cocktails, food and trinkets. Some offer free Wi-Fi connection.
