Welcome to the Bahamas, your escape from the ordinary! Located southeast of Florida and northeast of Cuba, this enchanting archipelago offers the best of beaches, culture, and activities.
Christopher Columbus first landed on the island of Little Salvador in 1492, one of about 700 islands that make up the chain stretching over 100,000 miles in the Atlantic. The islands boast of some beautiful natural wonders: for instance, the world’s third largest coral reef is located in the Bahamas, and Lucayan National Park is the site of the world’s longest known underwater cave system. Also, the clearest waters in the world are to be found off these islands. When combined with the year-round balmy climate, this makes for an endless variety of water-sports and beach hopping.
There are a huge number of events to enjoy, anytime of year. The People to People Program is a community involvement venture lets you experience the Bahamas to the fullest in a way that is uniquely Bahamian. Also, be sure to be there for Junkanoo, the Bahamas’ answer to Carnivale! Sample our famous straw markets and pick up some authentic Bahamian crafts, fabrics, and guava jellies.
