Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car, begin your journey in Nassau. Head east on Bay Street (the main road along the coast) and continue to follow this road as it curves around. After about 10 minutes, you will reach the roundabout at the eastern end of the harbor. Take the second exit onto Paradise Island Drive. Continue on this road until you reach the bridge to Paradise Island. Cross the bridge, and then follow the road which will lead you to the Nassau Harbour Lighthouse. There is limited parking available near the lighthouse, so be prepared to walk a short distance.

Public Transportation (Bus)

To reach Nassau Harbour Lighthouse using public transportation, you can take a bus from downtown Nassau. Look for buses heading towards Paradise Island. Board the bus and pay the fare (usually around $1.25). Inform the driver you want to get off at Paradise Island. Once you arrive, walk towards the bridge leading to Paradise Island. After crossing the bridge, follow the signs to the lighthouse. It is about a 15-minute walk from the bus stop to the lighthouse.

Taxi

For a more direct route, consider taking a taxi. You can easily find taxis in downtown Nassau, and the fare to Nassau Harbour Lighthouse will typically cost between $10 to $20 depending on your starting point. Ensure you confirm the fare with the driver before starting your trip. The taxi will take you directly to the lighthouse, where you can enjoy the views without needing to navigate.
