Bahamas Things to Do

From relaxing on the sun-drenched beach to trying your hand at one of the many island golf courses, you’ll likely have plenty of options with your time in the Bahamas. But don’t be fooled too quickly.

Tropical undersea treasures abound underneath the clear azure waters of the Bahamas, home to the world’s third-largest barrier reef.
