People tend to flock to the Bahamas once the temperature begins to drop to experience the sun, fun, beaches, attractions, mouth-watering gastronomy, and endless activities that will fill your days. If you’ve had enough of snow, the cold or just need a break from the ordinary, here are a few reasons why a trip to the Bahamas is in order.
Since the western islands of the Bahamas are just about 50 miles from the east coast of Florida, you can go boating to this beautiful archipelago on your own. Of course, you need to prepare first and plan the course to ensure safe passage and get the most out of your Bahamian experience.
If you enjoy shopping, it’s easy to get lost in the boutiques and local shops of the Bahamas. Here you will find authentic souvenirs that exude the islands’ rich culture and heritage that will make you fall in love with the place, if you haven’t already!
The Bahamas is made up of more than 700 islands, surrounded by crystalline waters. You can expect plenty of stunning beaches to while away. Paradise Island, Cabbage Beach, as well as Cable Beach, offer scenic views and beaches with hotels, restaurants, and bars to cater to your every need. Snorkel the day away being wowed by the magnificent reefs and fish that occupy them. Up for something more extreme? Get out the Hawaiian sling (spear guns are not allowed here) and catch your own dinner, go hunt for lobster (during season), or dive some of the great wrecks of ships and planes that litter the beautiful islands.
Do you want to get in touch with Mother Nature? Go to Lucayan National Park, which is a 40-acre land devoted to various ecosystems that you and your loved ones can enjoy. Get to see various floras and faunas that are native to the islands.
Food is yet another reason the Bahamas is calling your name! There are a plethora of mouthwatering dishes for you to try. Fresh seafood is always available with grouper, yellow fin, lobster, and red snapper being the most recommended. From 5 star restaurants to local eateries, there is something for every taste bud out there.
Bahamas boast of sunny and clear weather almost all the time with trades that consistently blow. You can imagine what a treat a trip to this spot is especially when the cold months roll in. Lock in that bronze glow you’ve been yearning for all year while lounging at the beach, swimming in crystal blue waters, or boating from one picturesque beach to another, paradise found.
In the end, if you haven’t considered a trip to the nearby Bahamian Islands, it’s probably about time you did.
