The Islands Of The Bahamas form a 100,000-sq-mile archipelago
that extends over 500 miles of the clearest water in the
world. Our 700 islands, including uninhabited cays and large
rocks, total an estimated land area of 5,382 sq miles, and
register a highest land elevation of 206 ft. Most notable,
however, is that each island has its own diversity that
continues beyond geography, carrying through to the heart of
The Bahamas, the Bahamian people. You’ll find it in our
heritage. In our culture. And in our humble pride. These are
The Islands Of The Bahamas.
Nassau, capital city of The Bahamas, resides on New Providence
Island, neighbor to Paradise Island. This island pair
maintains a distinct blend of international glamour and
tropical ease, giving travelers freedom to do everything or
nothing at.

Grand Bahamas, With its impressive combination of ecological
wonders and manmade attractions, Grand Bahamas Island
generously offers something for everyone, including two or
three vacations in one. The challenge is deciding which to
try first
There called Out Islands because they are the most remote in The
Bahamas archipelago of islands. But please don’t confuse
being secluded with being sleepy. Out here, activities are
numerous, islands and cays are seemingly unending, and the
farther you leave everyday crowds behind, the more you are
drawn in to the Bahamian culture before you. So you can be
as relaxed or as active as the day allows
