About

Nassau Stationers is a practical stop for families who find themselves needing books, stationery, or writing supplies during a Nassau visit. It's not a flashy tourist attraction, but if your kid burns through a notebook on vacation or you want to pick up a locally printed book about the Bahamas, this is one of the few dedicated stationery shops in the city.

The store carries a range of notebooks, pens, greeting cards, and general office supplies. Older kids who are journaling their trip or sketching will find plenty to interest them. Younger children are less likely to be engaged unless they're the type who love school supplies — which, to be fair, many kids absolutely do.

The biggest thing to know before visiting: hours are Monday through Friday, 10am to 4pm, and the store is closed on weekends. If you're visiting Nassau on a Saturday or Sunday, this one's off the table. But if you're around on a weekday, it's a quick and easy stop. Prices are typically in line with local rather than tourist pricing, so you won't feel like you're being gouged for a pack of pens.

The location on Chesapeake Road puts it in a residential-commercial area rather than the main tourist drag, so it has a genuinely local feel. Staff have generally been described as helpful. With a 4.

1 rating across 117 reviews, it's a reliable if unexciting stop. Think of it as the kind of place that solves a real problem — you forgot a charger adapter or your kid needs a new notebook — without trying to be more than it is.

Why Kids Love It

Kids who love school supplies and writing materials go wild here — notebooks, pens, and colorful stationery fill the shelves. It's a low-key stop that satisfies the kid who wants to bring something home besides the usual souvenir. Older kids can pick out a journal to document their Nassau trip.
