The Islands of the Bahamas comprise more than seven hundred isles and
cover distance of just over seven hundred miles. They reach from the northwestern
point of Grand Bahama Island (just over 70 miles from Palm Beach, Florida)
to the southernmost island of Great Inagua (60 miles off the eastern tip
of Cuba) Technically, the Islands of The Bahamas are in the Atlantic/Caribbean
Basin and are part of the Caribbean destination area that clients choose
for island vacation experiences. |

Grand Bahamas
Grand
Bahama Island is fifty-two miles off the coast of Florida lies an island
that is as rich and diverse as it is beautiful. Where pine trees coexist
with silver palms. Where rippling creeks wind their way through mangrove
colonies. Where endless beaches are surrounded by emerald green water
filled with coral formations, teeming with marine life. Grand Bahama Island
is only 6 miles long and 17 miles across at its widest point, yet the
delightful attractions are splendidly varied.

The
Out Islands
The many Islands of the Bahamas are really a mini-Caribbean where there
are many choices. Some islands are larger than most in the Caribbean;
other are tiny cays (pronounced "keys") poking their sandy heads above
water. Consider some fascinating facts about the 700 islands of the Bahamian
archipelago.There are many small hotels and resorts on the Out Islands
such as Peace and Plenty on Exuma
or Small Hope Bay Lodge on Andros.
Exuma, located
south of Nassau, the Exuma chain of islands stretch across the Tropic
of Cancer about 300 miles off the coast of south Florida. With over 365
islands in the Exuma chain, there is a new one to explore every day of
the year! Each island or cay has its own unique character. Some are quite
small with secluded, pristine sand and untouched tropical vegetation.
Others are quite rocky and rise up to spectacular cliffs or have lush,
rolling green hills. The diverse landscapes are awe inspiring and promise
to intrigue and excite even the most seasoned of world travelers. Great
Exuma is the largest island in the Exuma chain (measures 85 square miles
or 120 square kilometers) and it is connected to its neighbor, Little
Exuma, by a small bridge. Great Exuma, with a population of approximately
5000, is a tropical paradise of unparalleled breathtaking ocean views,
unforgettable beaches and secluded coves, picturesque azure waters and
softly undulating hills. Thanks to the Gulf stream, the idyllic climate
of the Exumas makes it an ideal vacation destination year round. A steady,
gentle breeze from the Atlantic Ocean, tempers the heat of the summer
sun. Winter on Exuma is perfect with an average temperature of 80 degrees
Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius). The beautiful aquamarine waters are warm
and inviting year round for swimmers, snorkellers, diving enthusiasts
and fisherman alike. When the rest of the northern hemisphere is suffering
under a blanket of cold weather, the Exumas remain magnificently tropical!
