Next time you are planning a truly relaxing vacation trip, you should put some serious consideration into the Bahamas. The capital city is Nassau, which is located on the island New Providence, though Andros Island is the largest in the group. The Bahamas main industry is tourism, with the island being a massive tourist spot for most western countries. The 700 Islands of the Bahamas form a 500 mile archipelago, and every one of them is a reason to take the family to this island paradise.

The Bahamas are only a short distance from South Florida, and offer many affordable opportunities for an island adventure. There were Eleutheran Adventurers, persecuted by their local church and they gave Eleuthera island its name. The largest island is Andros Island.

It’s believed that Christopher Columbus first landed on the island of San Salvador in the southeastern Bahamas and exchanged gifts with the Amerindians, (Taino, also known as Lucayan).

For vacationers, the Bahamas offers crystal clear turquoise waters, endless white sand beaches, perfect temperate weather — a vacation in the Bahamas is heavenly. So whether you’re making an investment or buying a vacation home, the Bahamas will welcome you with open arms. Because of its colonial heritage, you will find that the official language of the islands is still English and because it is widely spoken throughout the islands still it has been a key factor in helping the country to flourish and so become a favorite with the many people who travel to it.

If you prefer a vacation that is offering comfort then it is suggested that you take your vacation on one of the bigger islands in the Bahamas and if you want something with a bit more adventure then try one of the smaller ones.

If you are going on a trip to the Bahamas, then you will obviously need and want to know where the best places are for you to stay; one of the best places without a doubt is the Atlantis Hotel in Bahamas. The Atlantis Hotel in Bahamas is located on Paradise Island, near Nassau in the formerly British Bahamas and just a hop from Florida. Located on New Providence Island, the word “resort” barely does it justice; Atlantis is a combination of amusement park, water park, casino, spa, beach all rolled into one sparkling and gigantic package.

In 1940, clairvoyant (a person with abnormal power of seeing in the mind what is happening or what exists a distance) Edgar Cayce predicted that the lost continent of Atlantis would start to rise again in the vicinity of The Bahamas in 1968 or 1969.

Despite the fact that water-related activities are the most apparent enticements, these tranquil and welcoming islands also offer an assortment of rainy-day options, above all in Nassau and on neighboring Paradise Island. The Bahamian Islands cover 100,000-square-miles of tropical paradise that comprises over 650 islands and 2400 cays and located a mere 50 miles off the Florida coast. The endless stretch of spectacular sand and sea, the Bahamas is a beach lover’s paradise that should not be missed.

You can meet up with dolphins in shallow waters on the Blue Lagoon Island, just 20 minutes from Paradise Island, Nassau. It’s impossible to get past that first impression of Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas and you’ll be reminded of it everywhere you go in the resort.

These shark dives are available in both Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas. The warm sunshine, attractive beaches and laid-back lifestyle attract large numbers of tourists to Nassau and Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. There is very little industry apart from an oil refinery at Freeport and a rum distillery on New Providence.

One is at the Port Lucaya area located on the south shore of island and the other is near downtown Freeport which is more inland. I have traveled to Freeport twice and stayed in the Port Lucaya area both times.

Every travel agency has its own selection of Bahamas honeymoon packages, so it is worthwhile to shop around and find the one that reaches your highest expectations. A passport and visa may be required, so verify with your travel agent exactly what paperwork you should bring to stay out of trouble. If you don’t already have one, note that it can take 6-8 weeks or more these days to get a passport. While the beaches of the Bahamas are the premier tourist attraction, there are many more things to do if you travel inland.

The Bahamas is also a popular stop on many cruise ships, that spend anywhere from 1 day to 3 days in port so their cruise ship passengers can experience the Bahamas.

Consider a Bhamas vacation for one of the most relaxing vacations you have ever taken in a location that is just south of paradise.
