Clifton Heritage National Park

Clifton Heritage National Park has something for everyone: history, culture, natural beauty, and peace & quiet. Take a guided trip through the trails to learn about the history. Learn about the Lucayans, Loyalists, and Africans, three key cultures that contribute to the Bahamas' allure, and visit the ruins of towns, plantations, and slave quarters. There's also a medicinal garden here.

Wind your way through several tropical ecosystems, from coastal marshes and rocky cliffs to dunes, coral reefs, and an appealing stretch of beach. Keep an eye out for wading birds, seabirds, and songbirds along the way. Even better, put on your snorkeling gear and get in the water. There's an underwater snorkel trail, a coral reef sculpture garden, and even submerged film wrecks - the park was used in Jaws and other movies.

Clifton Heritage National Park is located on New Providence Island's western tip, about a 25-minute drive from Nassau. Many visitors take a guided tour, but you can also go on your own. However, there is an entry fee and a separate fee for snorkeling; bring your own snorkel gear to save money on renting it.
