Looking for a pool day in downtown Nassau without the resort price tag? Bahama Bay Pool Club sits right at the Nassau Cruise Port, just steps from the ships. Entry is free, the drinks are fairly priced and the energy is always up.
It works whether you’re in port for the day or staying on the island. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.

You can grab a regular lounger, or upgrade to a day bed, a pool bed or a VIP cabana with its own private jacuzzi. Here’s the best part: the cost of your cabana or day bed goes toward your food and drinks. So you’re basically eating and sipping your booking back.
One thing to know: it’s a pool club, not a beach club. Come for the pool, the music and the vibes, not the sand.
The food and drinks are fairly priced, especially for somewhere this close to the port. The menu keeps it easy with island-inspired favourites like:
There’s a swim-up bar, so you never have to leave the water for a cocktail. A live DJ keeps the music going, and the staff are friendly and full of energy. It’s a fun, lively day out without feeling over the top.
Yes, entry is free. You only pay for what you eat and drink, or for a day bed or cabana. And if you book one, that cost goes toward your food and drinks.
No. Some cruise lines sell Bahama Bay packages as excursions, often with lunch and drinks included. But you can also just walk in from the port, since entry is free. Book through your cruise line only if you want a package with everything included.
It’s inside the port area at Port Plaza, about a two-minute walk from the ships.
It’s open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
No, it’s a pool club. You’ll get a pool with a swim-up bar, a DJ and cabanas, but not a sandy beach. For sand, Junkanoo Beach is a short walk away.
Ask the club for current prices when you book. The cost goes toward your food and drinks either way.
No, outside food and drinks aren’t allowed.
Bahama Bay is a short walk from the rest of downtown Nassau. Make a full day of it with these spots:

Money, tipping, which island to pick, what to eat and the slang you’ll hear. Everything I’d tell my cousin before their first trip home.
