We rented bikes and took the ‘Ferry’, a very small & fast speed boat, over to Crooked Island. It was lovely to bike around on an island where there was very little traffic.

What are the best Islands to visit in Nassau?
Samana Cay, right off of Crooked Island was our most frequent stop. It was where I experienced my first snorkeling excursion. It is a deserted island except for a small shack where the natives strip Casparilla bark and take it to Nassau. Chester’s Bay was where we docked most of the time overnight. There is one bar and one restaurant on the Island.
