Beach Collector: Exploring Orange Hill Beach in Nassau, Bahamas

By: - August 6th, 2014

OUR NEW Beach Collector column will take you across the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean, with an emphasis on the underexplored — those out-of-the-way, off-the-beaten-path patches of sand we all dream about in the Caribbean.

We begin with Orange Hill beach, located far down West Bay Street on the northern coast of the Bahamian island of New Providence.

The beach is perhaps best known for the boutique Orange Hill hotel that sits across the street, but beach-seekers know it for its talcum-soft sand and a quiet, uninterrupted beach experience.

All in all, a must for any beach collector.
