Travelling to Nassau in August?

Question

I'm travelling to Nassau in August what should I expect?

Is it going to be crazy hot?

Any and all info is appreciated!

Cheers!

Answer 1

Nassau will be hot, but the breeze will be wonderful blowing inland from the ocean.  The water is very clear and the sand is almost white.   The under toe can be strong in the ocean.  There is some snorkeling and Paradise Island has the huge hotel with great aquariums under the hotel and around the grounds.  There is a fee to see the aquarium if you aren't staying at this resort.

At least 3 or 4 casinos on the island.  Do eat at some of the locally owned cafes.  Of course there is a Senor Frogs which is in most resort islands.  The beaches are very beautiful.  The islanders are somewhat to themselves, not overly friendly, but hospitable.  

Go to some of the shows around the resorts.   The steel drums are always a welcoming Nassau tradition.  Good food on the island, but expensive when buying from a super market.

Please do not rent a moped.  The driving there is quite dangerous.  Stay close to the inner part of the side walks in town because there isn't alot of room to walk.

There are places to buy non taxed items such as perfume, handbags, jewelry, etc.  that are supposedly authentic.

Been there 5 times and enjoyed each time.

wow I went in the wayy begining of summer. I wore a very loose tank and shorts and I was soaked in sweat within minutes. it's pretty muggy. As for the people and places... I don't know about deeper on the island, but along the coast is extremely touristy. it's pretty sad, actually. try and get a guide to take you in a taxi (not a tour GROUP) and ask him to show you the  beautiful places the natives go. I did that in St Thomas - it's the best thing you can do. have fun!

Yuck, why would you go to Nassau in August? lol..You are going to be bloody boiling. It is not only hot and sunny but it's incredibly humid. I hope you're staying at Atlantis or a large resort where the only time you'll have to go outside is to go the water!

The averages are Hi  89°F during the day - Lo  74°F at night, so when you do go out, do dinners and evening shopping.

Wear light colored, light weight clothing like linen and loose cotton tank tops. Make sure you wear spf even when you're just walking around and don't forget your sunglasses. Bring Evian Mineral Water Spray to refresh.. it's the best stuff ever and great for the dry, stuffy plane too!
