Visit The Bahamas – Shining bright right in the sweet spot between Florida and Cuba lays the Bahamas; a sprawling group of 700 islands, 2,400 cays and 315 days of sunshine each year. If it’s always happy hour somewhere in the world, it’s probably in the Bahamas – a fruity cocktail offering the perfect accompaniment to the world’s most picture perfect beaches. For all its shining lagoons and swaying palm trees though, the Bahamas also has an edgy side to it with historic tales of pirates and rum smugglers, and modern sojourns by everyone’s favourite MI5 agent, James Bond. A scattering of over 700 subtropical islands, uninhabited cays and great crescents of coral reef, The Bahamas set the stage for a beach escape. You’ll find limestone-white coves and honeyed beaches encircling lush mangroves, thick forest and towns that come alive with the pulsing beat of a rake-and-scrape band.
There are beaches and then there are Bahamian beaches – beautiful coastal stretches that feature everything from bars with thatched rooves on Cat Island to rose-coloured sand on Pink Sands Beach, Harbour Island. For many, this and their resort’s pool is enough to keep them occupied for endless relaxing hours. For others, there’s the deepest known salt water hole to explore at Dean’s Blue Hole, the Pirates of Nassau Museum for a unique history lesson and the Aquaventure Water Park at Atlantis Paradise Island to keep all ages entertained. There’s even an island famed for its swimming swine nicknamed ‘Pig Island.’ Yes there’s much more to the Bahamas than a couple of beaches.
If you come for the beaches, odds are you’ll stay for the food. On the menu is a mouth-watering mix of seafood running the gamut from fish and crabs to rock lobster and even conch, all typically seasoned with spices to give it that signature Caribbean flavours. To bond with local foodies in a homely atmosphere, hang out at the local Fish Fry on Arawak Cay where chefs show off their prep skills. The dish to try while you’re there is the freshly-made conch salad washed down with a cold local beer such as Kalik.
