BEACH BAR + JUNKANOO BEACH IN NASSAU, BAHAMAS = FUN!

Video of Junkanoo Beach from Corey Pearson spy series
 
     Junkanoo Beach and the Tiki Bikini Hut beach bar appear In several of the episodes in the "Corey Pearson, CIA Spymaster in the Caribbean" series. After all, the "Tiki Bikini" is Corey's most favorite beach bar in all the Caribbean. He finds peace of mind there and it's a great place to meet and blend in with the locals while meeting with CIA assets. It's just a short walk from downtown Nassau on West Bay Street. 
     It's a 15 minute walk from the cruise ship docks. Just head west on West Bay Street and you'll run right into this free beach with colorful souvenir, food and drink vendor huts that blend in seamlessly with the coconut palms that line the place. Definitely sit at the Tiki Bikini Hut beach bar. Who knows...maybe you'll spot Corey Pearson with one of his CIA or CBIF buddies?
Tiki Bikini Hut Beach Bar on Junkanoo Beach
     I stayed at the Nassau Palm Hotel which is directly across the street and took a morning swim in the gin-colored waters off Junkanoo Beach. Then, I laid on the beach and wrote scenes for the Corey Pearson spy series while drying off. Sometimes you'll find locals attempting to sell their crafts and goods, but they aren't the least bit pushy. 
     The beer is cheap and the food is above average. I enjoyed the Pina Colada "two 4 one" special at the Tiki Bikini Hut and enjoyed watching them create it...real coconuts were cut open with a machete and the white meat was mixed in a blender with pineapple juice, coconut cream, and white and dark rums. It was delicious!
     Bathrooms are available and there is a great view of the Nassau Lighthouse and cruise ships entering and exiting Nassau Harbor. Totally relaxing with talcum-powder sand and gin-colored waters. Definitely bring your camera and snorkel, fins and mask, then have a drink out of a coconut...then relax in the sand.

The Great Abaco Highway on Abaco, Bahamas

          When flying into the out island of Abaco, the Great Abaco Highway appears like a white strip of ribbon threading its way through green forests. Here's a scene from my spy thriller- "Penumbra Database." If you want a real out island vacation adventure, go to Abaco, Bahamas!      Penumbra Database: Episode 1 snippet:      Everything was quiet along the Great Abaco Highway (GAH) south of Marsh Harbor, the capital of Abaco, a 120-mile long, boomerang-shaped out island in the Bahamas. The GAH stretches from Walker’s Cay on the northern tip, cuts through the central region where Marsh Harbor lies, then threads its way through heavy forest to the desolate southern end where it abruptly runs into the ocean at a remote village called Sandy Point.             Bolan Tougas maneuvered the Ford Expedition SUV in a feeble attempt to avoid a cornucopia of deep...

Where CIA agents meet their spy contacts in Nassau, Bahamas

The Poop Deck- featured in the "Penumbra Database"      I n the Corey Pearson spymaster series, this iconic place on East Bay Street in Nassau, Bahamas is often mentioned. Why? Because it's a meeting place where CIA agents meet their contacts. Here's a snippet from Episode 6 of the "Penumbra Database": Episode 6 Missed rendevouz Poop Deck Restaurant  and Pub Nassau, Bahamas (GPS 25°04’28.1”N 77°19’03.5”W) "Corey Pearson sat on a barstool at the Poop Deck Restaurant & Pub sipping a Goombay Smash. General Morrison scheduled the rendez- vous with Darnell Ferguson at noon. It was 12:30pm…   a no-show.     A lone man entered the restaurant, drawing Corey’s attention. His behavior was dissimilar to that of a typical customer. He sat at a ta- ble overlooking Nassau Harbor and nervously glanced at Corey and the other bar patrons, then at the entrance doorway and around the open-air restaurant. Whoever it was he expected to mee...
