The Bahamas is a tropical vacation getaway renowned for its beaches, sunshine and warm weather. Spanning 500 miles in the Atlantic Ocean, the Bahamas is an ecological oasis with 700+ islands and cays and the clearest water on the planet. The varying degrees of blue contrasting with the powdery white sand beaches are relaxing and mesmerizing. The name ‘Bahamas’ comes from the Spanish word “bajamar" which means ‘shallow water" or "low tide”.
