Island Guide
Which island is right for you? Well, you won’t know until you know more about each one. They are as distinct as they are the same. The Bahamas has more than 700 islands. But the most visited by Americans and Europeans are Nassau and Grand Bahama Island.
About Nassau
The largest city on New Providence Island, Nassau has become the undisputed resort Mecca of the Bahamas. The capital city conjures up images of white sand beaches, turquoise water, outdoor straw markets and quaint historic sights. Nassau, which blends old world charm with modern sophistication, has also emerged as a center for business and commerce. But make no mistake: tourism is the city's bread and butter. Luxurious resorts, a thriving nightlife and a tropical year-round climate attract countless vacationers each year. Area attractions include the 14th-century French stone Cloisters, the mega resort Atlantis, the Crystal Palace Casino, and the award-winning Cable Beach Golf Club. Another major site is the 18th-century Fort Charlotte, which once guarded Nassau Harbor.
About Grand Bahama Islands
Grand Bahama Island is the second most popular tourist destination. Here you will find long stretches of deserted clean-white beaches, inviting hotels, one major casino, night-time entertainment and world-class scuba diving facilities and land and sea sports. Freeport is the resort center of the Island where much action can be found. On the eastern and western ends of the Island are serene and quaint settings and finding hide-away spots is not uncommon. Shopping is also a feature as one can stroll through Port Lucaya and discover duty-free treasures from around the world.
