What it's like

Rose Island is a private island a short boat ride from Nassau. It is used as a beach escape, and it is one of the places that visitors to the city go to for a day on the water and sand rather than a walk through town.

Sand Dollar Beach Resort sits on the island and runs half-day and full-day beach trips. Guests snorkel, and they can swim with pigs.

Good to know

Half-day and full-day beach trips are offered, so the time on the island depends on the trip you choose.
