Nassau, the capital and a frequent stop on Caribbean cruises, is currently undergoing development by Royal Caribbean for a new 17-acre beach club, set to open in 2025. Despite its popularity and tourist-friendly atmosphere, recent safety concerns have prompted the State Department to issue a cautionary advisory.
