News Detail

The Bahamas are a surprisingly well-rounded ourist destination with resorts, beaches, and an abundance of sunshine and entertainment. The islands are located just east of mainland USA, off the coast of Florida, making them easily accessible by air, private boat, or cruise ship from the East Coast of America. While there are over 700 islands, the most popular of these are by far New Providence Island, home to the city of Nassau, and Grand Bahama, with the city of Freeport.

Nassau, which is for all practical purposes synonymous with neighboring Paradise Island, is home to large scale resorts catering to package tourism, as well as smaller hotels. All-inclusive resorts and the mega resort of Atlantis, dominate the beaches of Paradise Island. Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas and maintains an interesting city center with colonial heritage buildings, some of which are now hotels, such as the British Colonial Hilton Nassau Hotel. A trip to downtown Nassau can be a good alternative on bad weather days or as a quick escape from the beach. Some of the interesting sights in the city include the Houses of Parliament, Balcony House, and Fort Fincastle. Shoppers looking for some local items should stop by the Straw Market on Bay Street, which displays all kinds of straw pieces, along with other crafts and souvenirs

Freeport, combined with the adjoining community of Lucaya, is the second largest city in the Bahamas. It is also a tourist hot spot with beaches, hotels, and shopping, and it is particularly popular with cruise ships. The International Bazaar makes for a nice outing, although it has declined somewhat from its former glory. Visitors will find trinkets and tourist oriented items. Port Lucaya Market has taken over as the main shopping destination, with restaurants and a huge straw market.

Those looking for a more off the beaten path experience in the Bahamas may want to try heading to the Eleuthera Islands and nearby Harbour Island, Abacos Islands, Andros Islands, or San Salvador. These islands are less developed, often frequented by boaters, and offer a chance to get away from crowds and mass tourism. And at the other end of the spectrum, there are flashy Bahamas Casinos to visit
