West Bay beach

West Bay is a beach near airport - in the north of Nassau island, Bahamas. This is not the best beach on the island, but it's not so bad anyway. The western coast is more "exclusive". There are many trees, and there are also few relatively decent beachfront resorts. The east end is not so upscale, since the road comes close to the water. This spot is popular among locals. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
