For a tropical city now known for its turquoise waters and balmy sea breezes, Nassau sure does have a tumultuous past. First settled by the English, the area was challenged by countries including England, France and Spain. For a number of years, Nassau was a destination notorious for pirates, and it was burned to the ground by the Spanish on three separate occasions. Since 1740, however, visitors from all over the world in search of both relaxation and adventure have made Nassau one of their favorite vacation destinations.
