Posted by Sunny
It is impossible to write just one article about the Bahamas. As you can see from the title of this piece “The Bahamas the Country of 700 Islands” it is just too large a subject. That being the case we will do a number of articles about various of the islands, the people, the activities, living there, the nightlife etc. This first look at the Bahamas will be an over view and give you a taste of what to expect in the future.
First and foremost the Bahamas are easy to get to. This is one reason for its long-standing popularity as a winter holiday destination. Only a few miles from the south Florida coast, in fact closer than Caribbean destinations, the islands can be reached quickly either by air or by sea.
From Grand Bahama and Great Inagua are 23 inhabited islands and thousands of unpopulated islets and cays (pronounced keys). There is the very cosmopolitan Nassau with its duty free shopping, markets, casino and nightlife all the way down to the wildlife sanctuary of Inagua. There is everything in between. There are pretty almost “American East Coast” style villages on some of the Islands. The only differences being the lovely climate and the palm trees.
These Islands are truly wonderful with some of the most beautiful and clean beaches in the world, clear blue seas, abundant marine life, exotic plants and wildlife.
The Bahamas have an international reputation for sailing, with regattas and races held year-round. The islands are actually the birthplace of the Gulf Stream, a phenomenon that also accounts for their astonishing variety and abundance of marine life. Legendary game fish draw sport fisherman in search of the “big one,” and more than 50 international fishing records have been set in these waters. The great writer / fisherman Ernest Hemingway live here on the island of Bimini.
On your holiday in the Bahamas you can swim with dolphins, go snorkeling or diving , try a little golf, take a cruise, stroll on the beach, dance all night, bicycle, try your luck at the casino, sail, parasail, go on an eco adventure, shop till you drop, take up flying, play tennis or simple relax with a good book and a cool drink.
The charming and hospitable Bahamians are happy to tell you of their rich history, with tales of pirates and adventurers, to introduce you to their culture and cuisine.
Inland are gardens and National parks with rare and endangered species, such as the exotic Abaco Parrot and the Bahamian Iguana. This is a diverse and beautiful country. Perfect for the adventure holiday maker, fishermen, sailors, the photographer, the eco tourist, families or the romantic couple looking for a private get away. The Bahamas have everything.
