Bahamas Adventures | Best Islands, Resorts, Food & Travel Tips
The Bahamas is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. With the clearest water on the planet, white-sand beaches, and warm sunshine, it is the perfect tropical escape. The islands are easy to reach with a quick flight on Southwest Airlines.
Discover Nassau and Paradise Island
When we arrived in Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas, we were surrounded by turquoise waters and a lively city full of history, culture, and fun. We explored local spots like the Queen’s Staircase, Fort Fincastle, and the colorful Straw Market.
Just across the bridge is Paradise Island, where we stayed at the famous Atlantis Resort. Atlantis has everything—an enormous water park, 11 pools, a marine habitat, golf, and a casino. We stayed at The Cove, a peaceful section of the resort that felt like our own private island. Between the Mandara Spa, fine dining, and exciting slides at Aquaventure, we never ran out of things to do.
