There's plenty to do on dry land in Nassau Paradise Island, but those hoping to get wet before their stay is up will have every bit as much variety to choose from in this spectacular Caribbean destination.

The region's renowned white-sand beaches, stunningly clear turquoise waters and its remarkable array of marine life mean there's no shortage of ways to have fun in, on or below the sea surface.

Visitors can book yacht and fishing charters, sign up for scuba diving lessons and even head out on snorkeling tours. Treat your eyes to some of the Caribbean's most mesmerizing coral reefs and tropical fish.

Couples will likely fall in love all over again while enjoying a bottle of champagne aboard a sunset cruise before heading back to enjoy the adults-only pool at The Cove at Atlantis.

There are also one-of-a-kind pool experiences that await the entire family, including the Aquaventure water park, sunken ruins and hands-on stingray encounters at Atlantis Paradise Island.

If you simply seek to be close to the water, there are miles of gorgeous beaches to choose from. Relax, play and explore at your own pace and soak in all the sun, sand and sea you could possibly want. After all, Nassau Paradise Island experiences 300 days of sunshine a year and the average water temperature is a balmy 80 degrees.

Maybe you're more interested in something that's guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping. If so, consider swimming with the sharks. Guests at Atlantis Paradise Island don't even need swimming experience to do so as the resort offers state-of-the-art clear-glass helmets so you can safely walk alongside sharks and other marine life while promoting conservation at the same time.

Can't decide on one activity? Book a Nassau Paradise Island day pass to gain access to several beaches, pools and activities at multiple hotels and resorts across the island.
