It is dangerous...sometimes

While the Bahamas' safety has improved, there is still some violent crime, particularly in Nassau and Grand Bahama, which includes the city of Freeport. Armed robberies, burglary, sexual assault, and other violent crimes, as well as purse snatchings, are common in this city, as they are in many others. Even during the day, robberies occur at cruise ship terminals and popular resort areas. Visitors visiting New Providence Island should stay away from the "over the hill" communities south of downtown Nassau (south of Shirley Street) at night. It is one of the things about Bahamas you should know.

Despite the fact that it is a paradise that would astonish the majority of visitors, tourists have been the target of attacks and crimes throughout the years. There is no way to sugarcoat it: the Bahamas has some negative aspects, but it is extremely safe if you know where to go and what not to do. The first of these is to avoid visiting non-tourist areas at night! The second piece of advice is to always haggle over the fare before entering the vehicle. They don't use meters, so you can find yourself in a pickle. It's better to be cautious than sorry!
