Bahamas, Atlantic Ocean
The Bahamas is a coral-based archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. Its 700-plus islands and cays range from uninhabited to residential islands, packed with resorts. Grand Bahama and Paradise Island, located at the northernmost point of Bahamas, are home to many large-scale hotels such as Atlantis Resort, and are of this country’s best known islands.
Among Bahama’s famous scuba diving and snorkeling sites include the massive Andros Barrier Reef, Thunderball Grotto (used in James Bond films) and the black-coral gardens. From the grit and bustle of funky Nassau to the vast mangroves of Andros, there's an astonishing array of beaches, reefs, forests and historic towns to be discovered, all within the compass of an hour's flight.
