Discover Bahamas
The Bahamas is a stunning archipelago of over 700 islands and 2,400 cays in the Caribbean! Famous for impossibly clear turquoise waters, pristine white and pink sand beaches, and world-class diving and snorkeling, the Bahamas offers ultimate island paradise. The unique pink sand beaches of Harbour Island get their color from tiny coral insects mixed with white sand.
The Bahamas is home to incredible marine life - you can swim with friendly pigs at Pig Beach on Big Major Cay, dive with sharks at Tiger Beach, explore underwater blue holes, and snorkel vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. Nassau, the capital, features colorful colonial architecture, bustling markets, and rich history. Bahamian culture blends African, British, and Caribbean influences, expressed through Junkanoo festivals with elaborate costumes, goombay music, and rake-and-scrape rhythms. Conch is the national dish, prepared dozens of ways. From the famous swimming pigs to the mysterious underwater caves of Andros, luxury resorts to secluded Out Islands, the Bahamas offers Caribbean beauty at its finest.
