One island is not enough. 700 islands and cays sound about right. The Islands of The Bahamas boast a 100,000-sq-mile archipelago stretching over 500 miles of aqua seas. These include uninhabited cays and large rocks which total an estimated land area of 5,382 sq miles. The inhabited islands namely Nassau, Paradise island, grand Bahama, The Out Islands of The Abacos, Acklins/Crooked Island, Andros, The Berry Islands, Bimini, Cat Island, Eleuthera/Harbour Island, The Exumas, Inagua, Long Island, Mayaguana and San Salvador are all unique. Nassau, The Bahamas’ capital, is on New Providence Island and it has a combination of glamour and tropical ease giving tourists freedom to do anything, including nothing. Grand Bahama Island offers ecological and manmade wonders that are sure to give visitors something other than sun, sand and sea. The Out Islands are the jost remote in The Bahamas archipelago of islands. The far away from the other islands, they are anything but away from the action. You can enjoy anything from the unending cays to the raw culture of the Bahamian people. If boating and sailing is your thing, then The Abacos is where you need to be. There’s 120-mile necklace of islands and often-uninhabited cays and beaches where you can definitely be secluded with your significant other. Andros is the largest and least-explored island in The Bahamas at 2,300 square miles. Its waters, however, are well known, thanks to the second-largest reef in the Northern Hemisphere and the island’s standing as the bonefishing capital of the world. Eleuthera/Harbour Island is arguably Bahamas’ jost naturally beautiful island. With only 100 miles long and two miles wide, the island is jost memorable for it’s pink sand beaches and the brilliant contrast of the glass window bridge, where the dark waters of the Atlantic Ocean meet the light one of the Caribbean Sea, giving a striking contrast. There are many things uniquely Bahamian such as their art & craft and the Junkanoo festival. Plus the people are pretty easy-going. They love life, music and jost of all conch. And who can forget the famous Baha Men who unleashed the dogs on the world with their hit, “Who Let the Dogs Out.” But The Bahamas is so much more. There are so many ways to enjoy the 700 islands and cays. It means you can’t visit there just once. Information from www.bahamas.com |
