Where did the name Woods Rogers Walk come from ?

In 1718, the British sought to regain control of the islands and appointed Captain Woodes Rogers as Royal governor. He use to go for walks along the docks at Old Town thus the name : "Woods Rogers Walk"

He successfully clamped down on the pirates, reformed the civil administration, and restored commerce.

Rogers cleaned up Nassau and rebuilt the fort, using his own wealth to try to overcome the pirate problems.

CANNONS AIM AT THE ENTRY OF THE BAY TO OLD TOWN NASSAU.

Fort Charlotte is a British-colonial era fort built on a hill over-looking the harbor of Nassau, The Bahamas. The fort sits a short walk west of downtown Nassau and the cruise ship terminal. The fort was constructed in the late 18th century by British colonial governor Lord Dunmore after the end of the American Revolutionary war. The fort has never been used in battle. It is one of several English forts that are still standing in Nassau. These forts were used as battle stations, to attack the invading Spaniards.

COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS VISITORS:

Absolutely loved this place. Was such a natural setting for the animals. Loved how it wasn't crowded with people. You could walk right up to the flamingos and peacocks. We also enjoyed feeding the beautiful Lory birds apples. One of the highlights of our trip!!

We absolutely enjoyed Ardastra Gardens when we were in Nassau. Loved the Flamingo show and them walking around among the peacocks! Many birds and other animals to see. Feeding the Parrots were something I've never done and I enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend going to if you're in Nassau.

In the afternoon after site seeing landmarks you may want to stop at Junkanoo Beach on the way back and enjoy a little beach time.

The music of the Bahamas is associated primarily with [Junkanoo]; festivities take place in the early morning of 26 December and 1 January; an absorbing, colorful celebration and one of the Bahamas’ most renowned events.

Or after several site seeing venues take the rest of the afternoon off and lay on the white sandy beach next to the Blue Turquoise waters. At the end of the day head back to the barn:

What travelers are saying

We went to Junkanoo Beach from the cruise port and had plans to tiki bar hop along the beach but were invited to sit at the first bar we came across.

Located about a 10 to 15 minuets away from downtown or the cruise ship terminal (or a 17 USD taxi ride away),

You will find it a nice beach but sometimes a little crowded. Not as quiet as your own private beach experience foing farther west on Bay street.

At the end of your excursion tour return to from whence you started along Bay Street back to Woods Rogers Walk.
