From tribal Indians to pirates, from explorers to slave traders, the
Bahamas are steeped in centuries of rich and fascinating history.
New Providence is home to Nassau--the nation's capital is the
center of industry and commerce in the Bahamas and serves an
interesting blend of old world colonial architecture, vast straw
markets, and an abundance of people combined with sophisticated new
world luxury.
Catch the spirit in Nassau, the bustling hub of the Bahamas since
the days of the legendary pirate 'Black beard'. This historic city
seduces visitors with its tropical splendor combined with
world-class shopping, gourmet dining and lively nightlife.
Relax on the world-renowned, powder white sands of Cable Beach by
day and enjoy exciting casino action at night.
 Linked
to Nassau by bridge is the famed Paradise Island--home to luxurious
beaches, a world class golf course, the most plush hotels in the
Caribbean, gigantic casinos and of course world class entertainment.
The warm, crystal-clear waters that surround the islands of the
Bahamas are a huge undersea playground for divers and snorkelers,
with over 1,000 dive sites spread across 700 islands. Many dive
operations offer excursions to coral reefs and shipwrecks, as well
as other activities such as swimming with dolphins.
To experience Bahamian culture and art, you should make plans to
attend Junkanoo.
 The
Bahamian festival of Junkanoo is an energetic, colourful parade of
brightly costumed people gyrating and dancing to the rhythmic
accompaniment of cowbells, drums and whistles.
The celebration occurs on December 26 and January 1 -- beginning
in the early hours of the morning (2:00 a.m.) and ending at dawn.
Junkanoo is reminiscent of New Orleans' Mardi Gras and Rio de
Janeiro's Carnival, but it is distinctly Bahamian and exists nowhere
else.
