Well, perhaps you could do different, but you’ll be hard pressed to do better. What the Bahamas have is the benefit of generations of tourism, and therefore it’s like the Caribbean version of Disney world. Those decades of tourism dollars have built the place into a virtual Candy Land, and if you’ve never been, you owe it to yourself to go at least once. There’s literally something for anyone and everyone.
Ecotourism, trendy 5-stars, modern bar and club districts, and safety in numbers make the Bahamas a can’t-miss destination. But, in case you’re still conflicted, Google these great attractions in the Bahamas. They’re sure to help you make up your mind:
- Andros – home to the third largest barrier reef in the world
- Pink Sand Beach – yes, you read that right. Located on Harbor Island, it’s a three and a half miles of picture perfect pink sand beaches
