Why visit the Bahamas?

Friendly locals, gorgeous weather and excellent accommodations draw tourists to the Bahamas. The Bahamas are a chain of islands located between Florida's southern coast and Cuba where year-round warm weather prevails. The warm climate offers respite from cold, rainy seasons. It's a unique destination where cuisine, attractions and beaches provide the tourists with a trip they'll never forget.

What to expect of the different Islands

When you plan a Bahamas vacation, it helps to understand what each island provides. Cruise ships stop at larger islands on the Grand Bahama Island or Paradise Island/Nassau map. Check the ship registry to see where ships stop before booking a cruise. Lively islands
If you like busy islands with lots to see and do, Nassau/Paradise Island and Grand Bahama Islands draw the largest crowds. Walk the pink sand beaches in Eleuthera/Harbour Island or Long Island. For sailing and fishing, tourists head to Abacos, Acklins/Crooked Island and Bimini. Quieter and more private holidays
Tourists seeking quiet, secluded beaches love the Berry Islands, the Exumas and Mayaguana. Nature lovers flock to Andros to view aquatic creatures along the barrier reef or to Inagua where more than 80,000 birds make their home. History buffs need to see where Christopher Columbus landed on Rum Cay/San Salvador or head to Cat Island to view religious ruins. Food
Creole cuisine influences Bahamas' favorite dishes. Seafood, fresh produce and seasonings create flavorful meals. Chefs use tomatoes as a base in many dishes. Try conch fritters, a popular dish in Bahamas' restaurants.

Saving money when you travel to Bahamas

Enjoy affordable trips to Bahamas' islands by booking all-inclusive Bahamas holiday packages. The Bahamas tourism website offers the Bahamas map in detail to help you choose the island or islands you wish to visit. Smaller, less touristy island resorts cost more, but if you hate crowded beaches, they're well worth it.
Choosing all-inclusive resorts
These kinds of resorts provide comfortable accommodations and all meals and beverages, including alcoholic beverages. Eat in the selection of resort restaurants for free. Tourists wishing to dine in other restaurants will find suggestions in the Bahamas tourism website, but the cost of these meals is not included in an all-inclusive package.
Organising other holiday-related events
All-inclusive resorts in Paradise Island Bahamas and the other islands happily arrange Bahamas weddings, anniversary celebrations and family vacations. These resorts help you fill out marriage license applications and explain laws regarding weddings in the Caribbean.
Final word
If you want to visit more than one island, look into a cruise from Miami to the Bahamas. You sleep on the cruise ship, but leave the boat to tour the Bahamas by day.
