Nassau keeps two clocks.
In the Bahamas, life on Nassau moves with an island rhythm, but for teams dialing in, it's a straightforward Eastern slot—perfectly synced with the U.S. East Coast during non-DST months, and just an hour ahead when spring-forward kicks in. Just remember to double-check that EDT switch in your world clocks come March!
