Bahamas Bucket List

Unwind on pink-sand beaches, blue holes, and easy island vibes of the Bahamas

Experience Bahamas' rose-colored beach

Visit Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. Explore the historic Queen's Staircase (66 steps carved from limestone by enslaved people in the late 18th century), wander through the vibrant Straw Market (a bustling hub for local crafts and souvenirs), and relax on the famous Cable Beach (a 4 km stretch of white sand with clear turquoise waters). Don't miss the Pirates of Nassau Museum (an interactive exhibit on the city's pirate history) and try local dishes like conch fritters at Arawak Cay.

Visit Freeport, a city in the Bahamas known for its cruise port and shopping. Explore the Port Lucaya Marketplace (open-air market with Bahamian crafts and live music), visit the Garden of the Groves (12-acre botanical garden with waterfalls and a chapel), and see the underwater sculptures at the UNEXSO dive site (including the 'Ocean Atlas' statue, one of the largest underwater sculptures in the world).
