Crash Pad for Surfers -- A short walk from Surfers Beach, the Surfers Beach Manor (tel. 242/335-5300; www.surfersmanor.com) is a restored, laid-back inn offering 11 newly refurbished and air-conditioned bedrooms, either with twin or queen-size beds. In winter, doubles range in price from $89 to $109 (£47-£58), with summer rates lowered to $79 to $99 (£42-£52). A rental car can also be arranged for $50 (£27) a day. There is a restaurant and a lounge on-site serving Bahamian cuisine. Swimming, surfing (but of course), and doing nothing are the pastimes here. MasterCard and Visa are accepted.
