Deep Water Edge
Look for the dramatic drop-off where the shallow turquoise bank meets the deep indigo of the Tongue of the Ocean.
The right side is excellent for viewing the bustling activity of the Nassau shipping lanes and harbor. If the wind is coming from the west, planes may land toward the east, which occasionally gives the right side a better view of the city center. Mid-day flights provide the most intense water colors due to the high sun position.
