There’s a lot more to the Bahamas than meets the eye, so read on to find out about what this paradise has to offer.
Bimini, Bahamas
The Bimini Islands are fantastic for deep-sea fishing, spearfishing, snorkeling, and just about any water sport you can imagine. There’s so much to do here, it’s impossible to fit it all into one post. The restaurants in Bimini are out-of-this-world. Try Stuart’s Conch Stand, Big Game Club Bar & Grill, or Three Daughter Deli.
Famous author and avid fisherman, Ernest Hemingway, docked his boat “The Pilar” in Bimini in 1935 and immediately fell in love with the island. In fact, he lived there from 1935-1937.
After a day or two of sunning, swimming, and fishing, make some time for pampering at Resort World Bimini. Serenity Spa at this luxurious resort offers a wide selection of therapeutic body massages and nourishing body wraps.
The Exumas
In the Exumas, you’ll find plenty to do. Swim with dolphins, go bonefishing, swim, snorkel, and visit the Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park. If you are fortunate enough to visit during the annual Exuma Junkanoo Summer Festival, you’ll get to sample local foods and beverages as well as learn a lot about Bahamian culture and heritage.
As for scuba diving, the Exumas are sheltered from the Atlantic by the other islands in the Bahamas, Shallow coral reefs, colorful walls, minimal currents along reefs, and a few sunken ships make for fun diving. A must-see is Thunderball Grotto.
Nassau, Bahamas
Nassau is home to some of the Bahamas’ most popular tourist attractions. You’ll definitely want to spend some time here. Make sure to stop by Atlantis, one of seven hotel complexes on Paradise Island. In addition to incredible views, Atlantis has five casinos, four 18-hole golf courses, an aquarium, and a water park.
If you’re looking for something more relaxing, there are some incredible beaches on Nassau to enjoy. Cabbage Beach, Junkanoo Beach, Cable Beach, Saunders Beach, and Coral Harbor Beach are a few that feature miles of soft white sand and crystal clear water. Bring a good book, get a tan, and swim. If you want to learn more about Bahamian culture, visit one of its many lively markets. There are artisans selling crafts such as ceramics, straw goods, glassware, and even ambergris jewelry! For great deals head over to Straw Market or Downtown.
Abacos
The Abaco Islands are in the northern Bahamas. They comprise the main islands of Great Abaco and Little Abaco, along with smaller barrier cays.
If you’re looking for things to see and do, don’t miss Green Turtle Cay. It is a four-mile-long island, located six miles north of Eleuthera Island and less than seven miles southwest of Great Abaco Island. This long, narrow island is famous for its unique, New England–influenced architecture. The island offers exceptional beaches, shops, restaurants, and more. You can even rent a golf cart or a bicycle and spend an afternoon leisurely exploring the island.
Eleuthera
Like the other islands of the Bahamas, beautiful Eleuthera is home to long stretches of white sand beaches and plenty of hidden coves to explore. With enough time, there are countless things to do in Eleuthera. Although it seems perfect for relaxing with a good book all day long, there are lots of other activities. Discovering wild donkeys and horses is an experience all its own while snorkeling through turquoise waters gives you a chance to see vibrant coral reef ecosystems.
