The Breathtaking Bahamas
The Bahamas—a dazzling chain of 700 islands and 2,400 cays scattered across the turquoise Atlantic—is a tropical paradise where natural beauty and vibrant culture collide. Whether you're planning a romantic escape or a fun-filled family adventure, the Bahamas offers something for everyone: pristine beaches, colorful marine life, rich history, and plenty of ways to soak in the sun.
Beach Bliss at Its Best
Palm trees and thatched-roof huts sit beside the coral-studded shoreline of Harbour Island, one of the Bahamas’ most charming escapes.
It’s no surprise that the Bahamas is famous for its postcard-worthy beaches. Powdery white sand, swaying palms, and crystal-clear waters await visitors on nearly every island. You’ll find some of the most iconic stretches of shoreline at Cable Beach in Nassau and Pink Sand Beach on Harbour Island—both perfect spots for sunbathing, swimming, and capturing that envy-worthy vacation photo.
Dive into an Underwater Wonderland

The Bahamas is a diver’s dream come true. Beneath the surface, vibrant coral reefs and historic shipwrecks host a kaleidoscope of marine life—from sleek barracudas to playful blue tangs, and even the occasional reef or nurse shark. Head to Andros Island to explore its legendary “blue holes,” or visit Compass Cay in the Exuma Cays for a chance to swim with friendly nurse sharks.
Culture and Color in Nassau
Brightly painted colonial-style buildings and marinas line the Nassau waterfront, blending Bahamian culture with coastal charm.
Beyond the beaches, Nassau—the capital city—is bursting with Caribbean flair and Bahamian history. Walk through Parliament Square, climb the Queen’s Staircase, and tour Fort Charlotte for a glimpse into the past. Stop by the bustling Straw Market for handcrafted souvenirs, and if you're visiting during the holidays, don’t miss the colorful energy of Junkanoo, a festival of music, dance, and Bahamian pride held on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
Natural Reserves and Wildlife Adventures

Visit Gold Rock Beach, Ben’s Cave, and Burial Mound Cave for a truly immersive nature experience. Or venture to the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, a protected area filled with thriving marine life and unspoiled natural beauty.
