The Bahamas, an enchanting archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, offers a sun-drenched paradise with its 700 islands, each with its unique charm and splendor.
Nassau, the bustling capital on New Providence Island, is a vibrant blend of rich history, British colonial architecture, and colorful Bahamian culture. Stroll down Bay Street to experience the island’s heart and soul, indulging in delectable conch fritters and Bahamian rock lobster.
