Located off the coast of Florida, the Bahamas is a magnificent archipelago of 700 islands and over 2000 cays. Grand Bahama and Paradise Island are the most popular destinations for tourists, but a good time is guaranteed at any one of the islands.

It is also where you’ll find the clearest water in the world—the visibility is so impressive that you can see nearly 61 meters (200 feet) down into the ocean.
