Bahamas

 

 

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.

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
