Bahamas

An island nation in the northern Caribbean, with world-famous clear waters, white-sand beaches and abundant diving and sailing.

The Bahamas lie in the Atlantic southeast of Florida in the United States, made up of about 700 islands and numerous cays. The capital, Nassau, on New Providence Island, is a cruise port and resort center, and Paradise Island has large resorts. The Out Islands each have their own character: the swimming pigs and sandbars of the Exumas, the pink-sand beaches of Eleuthera, the blue holes and barrier reef of Andros, and the fishing of Bimini. December to April is dry and the peak tourist season; June to November is hurricane season. Nassau's Lynden Pindling International Airport is the main gateway.
