The Bahamas is a very beautiful island, very good for new adventures or just a trip to get out and see a beautiful view. The Bahamas has some very interesting facts behind it that make it very unique. Did you know that the Bahamas was the very first place that Christopher Columbus landed on a part of the ¨new world¨ or that the Bahamas does not usually have bad weather like many other places around the world. It has only snowed once in the Bahamas it is mostly always sunny down there

There are 700 islands apart of the Bahamas , the Bahamas extends 760 miles from the coast of Florida on the north-west almost to Haiti on the south- east. The Bahamas is a country in the Northwestern West Indies but the Bahamas is formerly a British colony but The Bahamas is located north of the greater Antillies and southeast of Florida. So technically the location of the Bahamas is in the North Atlantic ocean and not in the Caribbean. The Bahamas has a distinct culture which has evolved over generations from a mixture of mostly African combined with some British and American influences , which developed into a unique and colourful style. Some of their food are a mixture of British and African food such as seafood and some African dishes.
