EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CHARTERING A YACHT TO THE BAHAMAS

Things to see and do in the Bahamas

 

The Bahamas is no doubt one of the most popular destinations in the world for tourists who just want to soak up some sun and enjoy a slower pace of life for a few days. All-inclusive resorts are extremely popular, and the islands are a frequent calling point for cruise ships coming from around the globe.

If you prefer a busier itinerary during your travels, there are also plenty of things to see and do during your time in the Bahamas. Some of the most popular attractions in the Bahamas include:

 

• Water sports: The Bahamas is a hugely popular destination for tourists and thrill-seekers wanting to try a range of watersports including surfing, snorkeling, diving, fishing, boating, and shopping.

• Duty-free shopping: Across the Bahamas, you’ll find plenty of duty-free shopping destinations which are home to some of the biggest American brands.

• Pig Beach: Pig Beach is a beach in Exuma that’s well-loved by locals and tourists alike - like its name suggests, it's the home of local swimming pigs.

• Lucayan National Park: This beautiful national park offers tourists the chance to experience a wilder side of the Bahamas and even explore the park’s underwater cave system.

• Besides this, a trip to the Bahamas can be whatever you want it to be. Whether you want to sample the local delicacies or simply spend your time drinking cocktails on the beach, there’s plenty to do during your stay.
