Walking
From the Cable Beach area, head towards West Bay Street. You can start your walk from any hotel close to the beach. Walk along the beach road, heading south until you reach the intersection with West Bay Street. This walk should take approximately 15-20 minutes depending on your starting point. Once you reach West Bay Street, turn right and continue walking until you see The Caves on your left side.
Public Bus
If you prefer not to walk, you can take a local bus (also known as 'jitneys') from Cable Beach. Locate a bus stop along West Bay Street; the buses are typically blue and white. You will need to pay a fare of about $1.25 (Bahamas dollars) when you board. Take any bus heading towards downtown Nassau and ask the driver to drop you off at the stop nearest to The Caves. It's important to mention where you’re going, as the drivers can help guide you. The bus ride should take around 10-15 minutes.
Taxi
For a more direct route, you can also consider taking a taxi. Taxis are available throughout Cable Beach, and you can either hail one or ask your hotel to arrange one for you.
