About the Bahamas
There are more than 700 islands that comprise the Bahamas and are spread over more than 5000 square miles of clear blue sea water and are home to more than 300,000 Bahamian people.
Nassau is the capital city and there are lots of scenic spots that are worth visiting around here as well. Start with the Ardastra Gardens, Queen's Staircase, Paradise Island, and the Fort Fincastle and Water Tower. All of these are just a short driving distance away from the city centre.
Some of the beaches of Nassau are actually underdeveloped. Stop by one of them sometime, park your rental car, and appreciate nature's beauty at its most virgin form. Check out the Grand Lucaya Waterway, which is also the island's lowest bridge.
There are beautiful beaches along the way as well, more particularly the ones falling within the boundaries of the fishing villages of High Rock, Pelican Point, and Freetown.
Bahamas Island Hopping
This is one of the most preferred activities here, despite the fact that only 30 islands are inhabited. For get from one island to another, you will need to hire a water taxi. Still, Bahamas is linked by a network of 1,688 miles of road that are rightfully a highway. Around 970 miles of which are paved.
