Wow! Sun, sand, and sea are merely perimeters of the Islands of the Bahamas. At the core of the Bahamas islands you'll find a big heart, open arms, and a way of living life that is both timeless and new. It is our heritage. It is your departure from everyday life. Welcome.
The Islands of The Bahamas is a 100,000-sq-mile archipelago that extends over 500 miles of the clearest water in the world. Our 700 islands, including uninhabited cays and large rocks, total an estimated land area of 5,382 sq miles, and register a highest land elevation of 206 ft. Most notable, however, is that each island has it's own diversity that continues beyond geography, carrying through to the heart of The Bahamas, the Bahamian people. You'll find it in our heritage. In our culture. And in the irony of our humble pride. These are The Islands of The Bahamas. Population: somewhere north of 300,000.

The Andros Islands - At 2,300 square miles, Andros is the largest and least-explored island in The Bahamas. Its waters, however, are well known, thanks to the second-largest reef in the Northern Hemisphere and the island's standing as the bonefishing capital of the world.

Long Island - An uninterrupted 80-mile stretch of contrasting coastlines gives Long Island its name and a distinct landscape. While soft beaches greet the water on the west coast, rocky cliffs rise from the shore on the east. That said, words are inadequate.
