Islands of The Bahamas
The Islands of The Bahamas lie in the crystal clear, offshore sailing waters of the Gulfstream, only 70 miles from Miami and the east coast of Florida.
The seas are teeming with game fish. The beaches are clean and many still deserted. The golf courses have no wait tee-offs. Its easy to get to... many air carriers and fast ferry boats provide daily service to Grand Bahama, Nassau and several of the Out Islands. There are dozens of international flights/day from the USA and Europe. So, what are you waiting for?
The Bahamas features world-class accommodations, diving, fishing and vacationing with many historic sites and interesting destinations. Find out more by selecting an island in the menu at the left or exploring the topics below.
Abaco Bahamas
Lying between Nassau and the coast of Florida, these 30-odd islands -- which contain only about 30 square miles of dry land among them -- attract devoted yachters and serious fishermen.
Acklins / Crooked Island
Acklins Island and Crooked Island are hard to reach, have very limited tourist facilities, and appeal to people who want to escape civilization.
Andros Island
Andros is actually two islands, connected by a series of canals and cays called bights. It's the largest landmass in The Bahamas and attracts divers, fishing enthusiasts, and sightseers.
Berry Islands
Lying between Nassau and the coast of Florida, these 30-odd islands -- which contain only about 30 square miles of dry land among them -- attract devoted yachters and serious fishermen.
Bimini
One of the smallest islands in The Bahamas and close enough to Miami (just 81km/50 miles away) to be distinctly separate from the other islands of the archipelago, Bimini is actually a pair of islands with a total area of 23 sq. km (9 sq. miles); smaller North Bimini is better developed than South Bimini.
Eleuthera
Eleuthera means "freedom" - freedom from crowds, cruise ships, casinos, and the chaos of everyday life.
Long and slender, this Bahamian island has remained largely undeveloped and untainted.
It is a gem in the Bahamas archipelago with miles of soft pink-sand beaches and clear, shallow turquoise waters on the western side. Ragged, wave-hewn cliffs from the Atlantic ocean crashing into the rocks offer a different atmosphere on the eastern side.
Exuma
Just 56km (35 miles) southeast of Nassau, this 588km (365-mile) long string of islands and cays - most of them uninhabited - is the great yachting hub of The Bahamas, rivaling or even surpassing Abaco.
Grand Bahama
Grand Bahama, in the northern Bahamas, is the second most popular tourist destination among the Islands of The Bahamas. Freeport has the largest and most modern container port in the region and Grand Bahama island also is home to some fascinating natural areas like the Rand Nature Centre, the Lucayan National Park and the Garden of the Groves.
