Cable Beach is so tame that I doubt you will see any fish at all. Barracuda like the inlets and there are alot of them - I caught a six footer. I am not afraid of them. I have never seen a shark in Bahamas though I am sure they are around. Nurse sharks are more easily seen. They lay on the bottom and ar no danger unless you yank their tails.
Best snorkeling is at Lyford Cay just west of cable beach - Coral Reef divers I believe are the local operator. Also Rose Island reef east of Nassau is good. See othe psot of mine in this archive.
Cable Beach is just a beach not a reef.

>>Not to be overly paranoid, but we recently saw a documentary about sharks and baracuda in the Bahamas. They seemed to be right off the beach in shallow water. Is an encounter likely? Are there certain areas we should avoid for swimming/snorkeling? We are vacationing in July on Nassau (Cable Beach).

>You have absolutely nothing to worry about. It is true that both barracuda and sharks travel in shallow water, they will not bother you. The only time when you may have to be somewhat cautious is if you are spearing fish. A shark or barracuda may become interested in the fish you spear.
