Country

Bahamas

The Bahamas is an archipelago of 700 islands and 2,400 cays, synonymous with paradise. It's where the water is so clear it looks fake. From the bustling resorts of Nassau and Paradise Island to the laid-back Out Islands like Exuma (home of the swimming pigs) and Eleuthera, it caters to every type of beach lover.
