Holidays to Bahamas
Situated just off the coast of Florida the Bahamas are often referred to as the ultimate in paradise. The beaches are some of the finest to be found anywhere in the world, with white coral sands, the warm aquamarine waters of the ocean and palm trees fringing the coast all combine to provide the most idyllic experience.
The island of New Providence is the centre of the Bahamian life and is home to the Capital of Nassau, located to the North East. The town has a cosmopolitan feel and the magnetism of Colonial style buildings and horse drawn carriages. Obviously this attracts the Caribbean cruise ships and is always a regular stop on their itinerary. Shopping is excellent from local artefacts and imported goods such as perfume, woollens and glass, which benefit from low taxes, many of which are found in the commercial centre of Bay Street. Paradise Island is linked to New Providence by two small toll bridges, where you will find more fabulous beaches, plusher hotels, casinos and a world-class golf course. Grand Bahama is another perfect choice for a relaxing break. Not as developed as Nassau, there is still an array of outdoor activities and of course many deserted beaches, unspoilt villages and national parks. Again duty free shopping is widely available and for some exciting nightlife head to the casinos of Freeport and Lucaya.
