Just 100 miles southeast of Florida, the Bahamas has become an ideal tourist destination for those looking to get away for a short break. The reasons for this are easy to see, and the islands offer a wealth of activities, both onshore and offshore. From the big resorts that offer every comfort in heady opulence, to the smaller villas and inns that offer privacy and tranquility on secluded beaches and allow you to experience the unique fauna and flora of this diverse fragile ecosystem. Alternatively, shoppers can delight in the authentic crafts, ceramics, and spices that can be bought at the local markets. After the night falls, the Bahamas comes alive with the music and dancing that will make any evening last long after the sun has set.
The Bahamas has always attracted sailing enthusiasts due to its near-perfect sailing conditions, set amongst turquoise waters and sandy beaches. Although many travelers arrive by boat from the US coast of Florida, others arrive directly in the Bahamas, where yachts can be chartered to sail to any location for any experience. Areas such as the South East are generally more secluded and offer a more tranquil experience where visitors can journey into uninhabited bays and hidden coves.
