Vacation in
The Bahamas
In the Bahamas, discover a spectacular chain of hundreds of islands,
each with its own distinctive charms and striking geography. There’s
Paradise Island, where world-class resorts line vibrant beaches teeming
with evening activities. Nassau is a bustling city, while nearby Cable
Beach is a two-mile stretch of stunning coastline where plenty of fun is
to be found. In contrast, the Out Islands of the Bahamas offer a more
secluded, sheltered experience. And Grand Bahama Island is a dazzling
beauty with ecological marvels and endless pursuits.

With over 700 islands and cays stretching south off the coast of
Florida, The Bahamas spans over 100,000 sq. miles of tropical Atlantic
seas. The archipelago is distinctly unique from its Caribbean
counterparts because the bulk of islands are not part of any deep
underwater volcanic shelf system. Rather, most of the islands have
formed over millions of years by shifting silt and sand in low levels of
water to form a hard coral and limestone bedrock. It was Columbus who
first named the island group Baja Mar—or "shallow sea." Combine that
lack of depth with so many protective land masses that make up the
island chain, and the result is often impossibly serene and clear
waters. Locals call it "liquid light."
