Cable Beach is a beach and resort destination on the northern coast of New Providence, Bahamas. The name is believed to have derived from an 1892 submarine telegraph cable linking Jupiter, Florida, USA to Goodman’s Bay, Nassau.
Tourism in the area dates back as early as the 1940s, and by the 1950s, it had become a centre for hotel development.
Cable Beach experienced a period of instability in the wake of Bahamian independence and liberation as well as the rise of the newer Paradise Island and other tourism competitors. The PLP government headed by Lynden Pindling began buying failing hotels in the 1970s.
