We have a layover from about 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. (need to be back at airport by 2:30) at NAS en route to Cat Island. Any suggestions of what to do? I thought perhaps we could have lunch at the Poop Deck, even though it will be pretty early and we'll be carrying bags, but I'm open to suggestions for additional/different things to do. Thanks!
What To Do During Long-ish Layover in Nassau?

10 minutes away, go to Compass Point for lunch. Super colorful, will get you in the mood for those Out Islands, close to airport so maximize time, delicious lunch, cute little beach.
Perfect -- didn't know Compass Point did lunch!
We took a cab over to Atlantis but we didn't enjoy it very much. I wish we would have gone to Compass Point instead.
I can't recall if you've been to Cat Island before but I'm sure you'll love it -- it has so many beautiful beaches.
BeachGirl, this will be our 4th trip to Cat, but the first in 7 years. So many islands, so little time!
That's great, Callaloo. I just knew this couldn't be your first trip! We haven't been back to Cat Island since the hurricane and I hope they are recovering well. I wonder if Rita's Rum Shack survived on the north end behind the police station. If so, have a cold drink for me.
We're heading back to Abaco in April and staying on Great Guana Cay this time and will explore the southern end of the Abacos this trip.
"So many islands, so little time" -- so true!!
Looking forward to reading another one of your great trip reports upon your return. Have a great vacation.
BeacgGirl247- where are you staying in GGC? Please post a report after your trip. We had to cancel a March trip to Roatan due to my having knee replacement surgery in a few weeks and I have booked a July 4th week in Guana- for the Abacos this is pretty much "last minute" but I found a house finally. I have been there several times on day trips but never stayed there in my maybe 8 trips to the Abacos. I will be interested to hear about your trip- have fun!
Callalou- your reports are always fascinating so I will love to read about it. I was already starting to plan a 2014 trip to meet friends from the UK and we had narrowed it to Cat Island, Long Island (house near Clarence Town) and Provo/Grand Turk combo so I love your input!
Happy travels!! ish
ishkribbl -We are renting a house down the beach from Nipper's. I'm sorry to hear you had to cancel your Roatan trip and hope that you're good as new for your July 4th trip to the Abacos!
Beachgirl247- thanks! we will be staying up the beach from Nippers at Shorecrest. Hope your trip is wonderful- drink a Nipper or Grabber for me and please post a trip report so I will have something to look forward to reading! Have fun!
