For anyone looking for a great holiday destination try the paradise islands of The Bahamas.
From Grand Bahama and Great Inagua there 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. It is here that the Gulf Stream originates and which gives the islands their abundant and varied marine life. Big game fish draw sport fisherman in search of the “big one.” There have been more than 50 records set in these waters. The great writer / fisherman Ernest Hemingway live here on the island of Bimini.
