The Bahamas, officially the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, is a country consisting of more than 3,000 islands, cays and islets sprinkled over 100,000 square miles of ocean starting just 50 miles off the coast of Florida. The archipelago is an ecological oasis of breathtaking islands and cays that boast the clearest water on the planet.
For centuries, the islands captivated settlers, traders and invaders, while the shipping channel enchanted pirates who quickly discovered all of the great hiding places. Today the Islands of the Bahamas offer an array of experiences from diving the world’s deepest blue hole to seeing the largest colony of pink flamingos.
