Clyde's Nassau Bahamas
The South Sea Islands of the Atlantic Ocean or
The American Riviera
Just off the coast of south Florida are 700
islands across 100,000 square miles of
shimmering water. For those who have never
been there do not be surprised. You will not
see the mountainous like many of the other
Caribbean Islands. The Bahamas are for
the most part flat, but they more than make
up for it with the miles and miles of some of
the worlds best beaches. With surrounding
waters that have invited Scuba Diving,
Snorkeling and those who just hang at its
edge. With beaches of white golden and
even pink sands.
Graced with beautiful beaches of pink sand, evocative windswept panoramas and
countless opportunities for diving, snorkeling and fishing, the islands of the
Bahamas are well established as one of the world's top draws for both intrepid
explorers and casual vacationers. An island chain beginning a mere 55 miles east
of Miami, Florida, the Bahamas offer an array of tourist hotels, all-inclusive
resorts, and even rustic lodges, making staying there a relatively simple
endeavor. Indeed, more than three million travelers each year choose the
islands as their prime destination for outdoor sports, sun worship, casino
gambling and, on some of the slightly more remote spots, eco-tourism.
In total, the Bahamas include around seven hundred islands, no more than
thirty of which are inhabited, as well as smaller cays (pronounced "keys") and
rocks - an impressive arc stretching from just beyond the Atlantic coast of
Florida to the outlying waters of Cuba, where Great Inagua lies only sixty miles
offshore. Although deeper oceanic troughs surround some of the islands, most are
encircled by shallow, crystalline water that reflects a light turquoise hue
during the day and glows with purple luminescence at night. This combination of
shallow and deep water makes diving and snorkeling both challenging and
intriguing, with numerous reefs waiting to be explored just beyond the shores of
the gorgeous, uncrowded beaches.
The Nassau Bahamas are not part of the Caribbean they
are in the Atlantic Ocean. These islands are still
a great showcase for all the culture of the
Caribbean Lifestyle.
The most popular islands of the Bahamas are
New Providence with Nassau and Cable Beach.
It offers Mega Resorts, Gambling with its
Las Vegas style entertainment. Plus being a
favored stop for Cruse Ships.
