There's no need to exchange U.S. currency to Bahamian currency. The Bahamian dollar is always matched to the U.S. dollar. U.S. currency is accepted throughout Nassau, however when spending U.S. currency, you may receive Bahamian and/or U.S. currency as change.
Most major credit cards are also accepted.

What is the weather and sun like in The Bahamas?

Most of the islands of The Bahamas are slightly north of the Tropic of Cancer, so the climate is almost tropical. Nassau's temperatures are very similar to Miami, Florida. Because New Providence Island is a relatively small island, there is frequently a breeze coming off the ocean which can help with the summer heat for those who are used to cooler climates. Summer afternoon storms can cool the temperatures, but will also increase humidity.
During the summer months, the sun is almost directly overhead and can be very intense. Unprotected skin will sunburn very quickly.
