Bahamas Things to Do

The Islands of the Bahamas are home to some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. You’ll find everything from world-famous resort destinations to popular surf spots and unspoiled stretches of powder-white sand. Here are six of the best beaches in the Bahamas.

Hollywood celebrities like Johnny Depp, Eddie Murphy and John Travolta have all built private island homes in the Exuma Cays, a 120-mile-long chain of islands located southeast of Nassau in the Bahamas. The Exuma Cays are some of the most exotic and pristine islands in the Bahamas – two of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies were filmed here – and it’s easy to see why this group of small Caribbean islands continues to attract such high profile movie stars. The Exumas, however, are also home to an unusual and unexpected cast of characters: the famous swimming pigs in the Bahamas.

Tropical undersea treasures abound underneath the clear azure waters of the Bahamas, home to the world’s third-largest barrier reef. An abundance of marine creatures, sea fans and all sorts of fish dart in and out of this colorful coral reef. Many of the best spots to see these creatures are right off the beach, including Dean’s Blue Hole, an underwater sinkhole that is the deepest blue hole in the world.
