Bahamas Holidays

Plenty to do on Bahamas holidays

People who are looking for a destination which offers plenty of activities, in addition to relaxing beaches, may be interested in taking Bahamas holidays.



Consisting of more than 700 islands, the Bahamas is located in the Atlantic Ocean, east of Florida, north of Cuba and north-west of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Grand Bahama Island is one of the most popular places to start. With beautiful beaches, unspoilt pine forests, elegant resorts and top shopping options, people of all ages on Bahamas holidays will find something to enjoy.

Meanwhile, Nassau is the capital of the country, "where old-world charm meets the 21st century", according to the official tourism website.

British heritage is obvious in the historic centre of Nassau, where tourists on Bahamas holidays can hire a horse-drawn surrey for a tour of the island or visit historic sites and forts, as well as the hand-carved Queen's Staircase.

Visitors who are looking for a lesser-known treat may want to consider stopping by Acklins Island and Crooked Island.

Located next to each other and connected via a ferry link, these little paradises would provide days of enjoyment for divers who want to explore the 50-mile barrier reef which encircles the islands.
