Made up of more than 700 islands and over 2,000 cays, the Bahamas is covered with coral reef and historic towns. The islands are part of North America and sandwiched between Florida to the north and Cuba to the south. The islands’ top attraction are their beaches, with long stretches of powdery soft sand running into vividly blue waters. The capital of Nassau gives you the best of both worlds, with secluded beaches, seafood dining and vibrant nightlife. The iconic Pink Sand Beach can be found on Harbour Island, with ferries running on most days between main points of interest. The Bahamas are a watersports wonderland, with dolphin encounters, shark diving and kiteboarding just some of the bucket-list adventures on offer. If you want to explore the islands at your leisure, you can rent a boat to captain yourself or join a fully crewed charter. The most popular style of accommodation in the Bahamas are beach resorts, but a number of apartments, villas and holiday homes are also available.
