1 guide, each rated 1 to 5 with the reason — and two lists per place, where you are comfortable and where to pay attention. Nowhere is called dangerous; the specific thing is what helps.

Comfortable: Paradise Island · Cable Beach · Downtown Nassau
Over-the-Hill — south of downtown
Downtown Nassau — after the cruise ships leave
Jet-ski rentals, which have a long record of damage claims and worse
