Practical

Coordinate approximate: pin is the Clifton Heritage National Park position (bahamas.com); the sculpture garden lies just offshore of the park on the south-west tip of New Providence, a dinghy ride from the Clifton Bay / West Bay anchorage. Confirm the exact spot with the park or a dive operator (Stuart Cove's snorkel trips visit the sculpture garden as 'Nari Nari'). Dive-boat moorings with floating pennants lie off this coast, so watch the props. The park is closed after dark except for boat launching and pickups.
