New Providence, The Bahamas | Destination overview
This is the island most visitors erroneously call Nassau. That's because it is the site of the nation's capital, named in 1695 for the Dutch Prince of Orange-Nassau after he took over the British throne.

Recent years have seen millions of dollars invested in Nassau, Cable Beach, & Paradise Island.
