Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas, on the small island of New Providence, with a population of around 275,000. Articles in this category cover the Cable Beach hotel strip and the larger Atlantis resort on neighbouring Paradise Island, the colonial-era buildings around Bay Street and Parliament Square, the daily cruise ship arrivals that fill Festival Place, the Junkanoo street parade on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, the long British colonial history that ended with independence in 1973 and the offshore banking sector that runs alongside tourism.
