With 700 islands and more than 2,000 small cays, not to mention thousands of white sand beaches, the Bahamas is one of the most breathtaking places in the world. Made up of an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean just southeast of Florida, the islands are known for their picture-perfect beaches, exciting resorts, friendly locals, pristine coral reefs, perfect sunsets, and so much more! The iconic Bahamas remain one of the most coveted travel destinations in the entire Caribbean region.

Once a haven for pirates, the islands are now a playground for travelers, the rich and famous, and anyone who enjoys world-class fishing, boating, diving, snorkeling, and sailing. When beach lovers dream of the perfect stretch of powdery sand, lapped by seas in sublime shades of blue, they’re probably dreaming of the beautiful Bahamas.
