BAHAMAS
TRAVEL: Graced with beautiful beaches of pink sand, evocative
windswept panoramas and countless opportunities for diving, snorkelling and
fishing, the islands of the Bahamas are well established as one of the
world's top draws for both intrepid explorers and casual vacationers. An
island chain beginning a mere 55 miles east of Miami, Florida, the Bahamas
offer an array of tourist hotels, all-inclusive resorts, and even rustic
lodges, making staying there a relatively simple endeavour. Indeed, more
than three million travellers each year choose the islands as their prime
destination for outdoor sports, sun worship, casino gambling and, on some of
the slightly more remote spots, eco-tourism.
In total, the
Bahamas include around seven hundred islands, no more than thirty of which
are inhabited, as well as smaller cays (pronounced "keys") and
rocks - an impressive arc stretching from just beyond the Atlantic coast of
Florida to the outlying waters of Cuba, where Great Inagua lies only sixty
miles offshore. Although deeper oceanic troughs surround some of the
islands, most are encircled by shallow, crystalline water that reflects a
light turquoise hue during the day and glows with purple luminescence at
night. This combination of shallow and deep water makes diving and
snorkelling both challenging and intriguing, with numerous reefs waiting to
be explored just beyond the shores of the gorgeous, uncrowded beaches.
