Blue Lagoon Island

Blue Lagoon Island is a privately owned island located off the coast of Nassau. Travelers visit this destination to access beaches and nature in a setting separated from the main city. It serves as a site for relaxation and outdoor activities away from the urban center.

Getting There

The island is situated 5 km from Nassau. Access is available via boat transfers from the city center. The journey typically takes a short amount of time depending on the water to reach the shores.

Duration of Visit

Visitors generally allocate a full day or a significant half-day to explore the island, as the transit time by boat and the layout of the natural areas require several hours to experience.
