The shuttle eases out of downtown Nassau and the road opens like a palm-fringed ribbon toward the sea. Salt-air pushes at the windows; waves dare you as the guide points to a low fort on a headland and the slow arc of the harbor. Stops are compact—forts, a waterfront food strip, a soft-sand beach—stitched together by an air-conditioned vehicle that keeps the island heat at bay.
