No resort wristbands. No day-pass queues. Just a private island for the day.
Most Nassau day trips drop you at the same crowded beach. Pearl Island is different — two distinct beaches (one social, one quiet), a working lighthouse you can climb, and a warm, shallow bay waiting the moment you step off the ferry. And getting there is part of it: a short, scenic crossing from Nassau, not a long haul to a far-off cay.
Kayaks, paddleboards, water mats and a floating trampoline are all included, not added on. Lunch is cooked fresh on the island, true Bahamian style. Between swims, claim a shaded deck or beach chair and rinse off under a fresh-water shower — no rush to get back.
Want to go deeper? Pearl Island sits above a sunken sculpture trail — a plane, statues and a boat resting on the seabed — bookable as a snorkel upgrade on the day.
This is the Bahamas the cruise port doesn't show you: quieter, slower, entirely yours.

What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Your adventure begins at the Paradise Island Ferry Terminal, located at the East Dock right behind Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville on Paradise Island – just between the two bridges connecting Paradise Island and Nassau. Please check in 15 minutes before your scheduled departure.
What to expect
Escape the busy cruise port and discover Pearl Island, a private slice of paradise a short 15min ride from Nassau. Powder-white sand, warm turquoise water and a full day to enjoy your way.
From the moment you arrive, two white-sand beaches are yours — stretch out on the private beach, unwind under a shaded deck or wade straight into the calm, warm shallows.
DIVE IN & PLAY
The warm water is your playground — bounce on floating water trampolines, drift on floating mats, or explore the coastline by kayak or stand-up paddleboard. All water activities are included.
TAKE IN THE VIEW
Climb our iconic lighthouse for sweeping panoramic views over Nassau Harbour — one of the best photo spots in the Bahamas.
A TASTE OF THE ISLANDS
Tuck into a traditional Bahamian lunch on the island: BBQ chicken, fish fingers, peas n' rice and plantains. Beach chairs, shaded decks, bathrooms and a gift shop are all on hand.
Round-trip ferry from Nassau included — a full day in paradise at the island's best value. A private alternative to crowded Blue Lagoon and Balmoral Island. Sun, sand and sea await — book your Beach Escape now.
