CAB Gallery & Studio

CAB Gallery and Studio sits on South Ocean Road on the quieter south side of New Providence Island, well away from the cruise ship tourist strip. That location is intentional — this is a working studio and gallery for serious Bahamian art, not a tourist souvenir shop near the wharf.

With a 4.8 Google rating from 31 reviews, it's clearly doing something right. Visitors who make the trip out to the south shore tend to be intentional about it — they come to see actual Bahamian fine art in an intimate studio setting, not just to buy a fridge magnet.

For families, the working-studio element is the most interesting angle. If the artist is present, kids can see painting or other art creation in progress, which makes the visit an educational experience rather than just looking at things on walls. That hands-on, process-oriented dimension holds kids' attention longer than a traditional gallery.

Open 7 days a week from 10 AM to 5 PM — one of the more accessible schedules among Nassau's galleries. However, the south shore location means you need a car or taxi to get there. It's about a 20-30 minute drive from downtown Nassau depending on traffic. Plan this as a dedicated destination rather than a quick add-on to a waterfront day.

Best suited for families with older kids (10+) and teens who have some existing interest in art or want to understand what Bahamian artistic culture looks like outside the tourist economy.
