The Bahamas
The 700 beautiful islands and 2,000 chunks of coral and limestone outcrop that form The Bahamas are playgrounds for sailors, anglers, divers, nature lovers, eco-tourists – and those vacationers in search of the more glitzy pleasures.
The islands are visited by more than three million people each year. You will find great enthusiasm for American culture, combined with a strong flavour of Britain… and a distinctly Caribbean beat.
