An interesting little fact about the Bahamas is that it is not really part of the Caribbean, it is in the North Atlantic. Sure, geography buffs, savvy travelers and Bahamians know that, but many people from around the globe apparently do not. The Bahamas archipelago consists of over 700 islands and cays starting with Bimini, just 90 miles off the coast of Florida, and stretching hundreds of miles, down to Inagua, near the West Indies.

Since attaining independence from the United Kingdom in July 1973, The Bahamas have prospered mainly through tourism, international banking and investment management. The population of the Bahamas is a little over 300,000. English is the primary language.

The Bahamas Web Directory features listings for all islands of the Bahamas including Nassau, Grand Bahama, Abaco, Eleuthera and many of the Out Islands.
