Scattered across the Caribbean like a string of pearls, the 700 pristine islands and coralline cays that make up the Islands of the Bahamas are encircled by some of the clearest seas on the planet. A haven for snorkellers and divers alike, the reefs here are home to an adundance of tropical fish and vibrantly coloured corals. Above the water, it's easy to be seduced by the easygoing island charm and laze the days away on one the many white sand beaches. However, there's bustle too, if you're looking for a change of pace. The capital, Nassau, is home to a rich past that merits exploration - you'll find ancient fotresses and colonial squares waiting to be discovered; not to mention excellent duty free shopping and nightlife. Across the islands you'll be captivated by the warm friendliness of the islanders themselves and rich culture and charm that will keep you coming back year after year. Join in the regular fish fry or coincide your visit with one of the colourful junkanoos to see more of these islands of contrasts.
