Where to shop in the Bahamas - where to go and what to buy

Much more than just endless stretches of sandy beaches, the Bahamas has plenty to offer the discerning traveler hunting for local buys.  Emerging commercial spots have cropped up all around the islands, selling everything from handmade crafts to high-end fashion.

Where to eat in the Bahamas – a food and dining guide

Fresh, filling and flavored with local spices, Bahamian cuisine is undeniably inviting. A diet consisting largely of seafood and shellfish including grouper, conch, lobster and crab, the Bahamas is an ideal spot for foodies (if you like fish, that is!). International gastronomy with a strong American influence can also be found around the islands, however, with surf-and-turf featuring highly on many menus.

A guide to the Bahamas - sweeping sunsets, palm-fringed islands and turquoise waters

With over 700 islands and 2,000 cays and islets scattered all around the Atlantic Ocean, the Bahamas offer an idyllic island escape. Lined with palm-fringed beaches, watersport huts and tiny villages, this sun-drenched archipelago has plenty to offer. Take part in a Bonefishing adventure on The Out Islands, soak up the island-wide Bahamian cuisine or enjoy a sightseeing tour around the archipelago. If sunbathing is more your forte, however, you’ll find the Pink Sand Beach of Harbour Island undeniably appealing.
