Florida Travel

If you’re traveling to or planning a vacation in the Bahamas you might be interested in knowing a little about the area.

The Commonwealth of the Bahamas is an independent English-speaking nation in the West Indies. Where in the world are they? The Bahamas are located in the Atlantic Ocean, east of Florida in the US, north of Cuba and the Caribbean, and west of the British dependency of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The Bahamas are a group of about 700 islands in the western Atlantic Ocean, of which only between 30 and 40 are inhabited. That may sound like a large place but on a comparison basis, the Bahamas are only slightly smaller than the state of Connecticut.

The largest of the islands is Andros Island, located 120 miles south-east of Florida. The Bimini islands are to its northwest. To the North is the island of Grand Bahama, home to the second largest city in the country, Freeport, Bahamas.

Go to a Lake Tour

Nature enthusiasts love the one-hour lake tour held on a 24-foto pontoon boat. This attraction, which is also a “Scenic/Eco” lake tour, allows you to see the other side of Florida, the one abundant with natural resources. If this is not enough for you, combine this tour with fishing trips and gator tours.
