๐ Overview
The Bahamas is an archipelago of over 700 islands stretching across the western Atlantic southeast of Florida. Only 30 are inhabited, leaving hundreds of pristine cays with some of the clearest water on Earth. Nassau buzzes with colonial architecture and straw markets, while the Out Islands offer secluded beaches, swimming pigs, and world-class diving.
The Exumas chain offers 365 cays of turquoise water. Andros has the third-largest barrier reef. Eleuthera's pink sand beaches are legendary. Junkanoo โ a riot of music, costume, and dance โ is one of the Caribbean's most vibrant celebrations.
