Nassau, Bahamas

Nassau

It is not difficult to come up with reasons to visit the wonderful Caribbean nation of the Bahamas. When people think of the Bahamas, Paradise Island, crystal blue beaches and white sand come to mind; but those are only a few of the island’s attractions. The archipelago’s geographical location, its 700 unique islands, the weather, and its cultural and entertainment activities make it the perfect place for your next vacation.

Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. It lies on the island of New Providence, with neighboring Paradise Island accessible via Nassau Harbor bridges. A popular cruise-ship stop, the city has a hilly landscape and is known for beaches as well as its offshore coral reefs, popular for diving and snorkeling. It retains many of its typical pastel-colored British colonial buildings, like the pink-hued Government House.
