Our illustrated travel guide will take you to the Bahamas, a nation consisting of 29 islands, 661 cays, and 2,387 islets (rocks). It is located in the Atlantic Ocean north of Cuba and Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti), northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands, and southeast of Florida.
The Bahamas were the site of Columbus' first landfall in the New World in 1492 and is now one of the richest countries in the Americas.
On your visit, don’t miss Paradise Island, a small island close to the capital Nassau. It is dominated by the Las Vegas-style Atlantis resort, which is responsible for an amazing 11% of the Bahamas' GNP. Paradise Island and the Bahamas is very popular with the “rich and famous”.
Finding Internet access when out and about can be problematic so carry your mobile guidebook in the palm of your hand. We include a fully linked Table of Contents and internally to access context-specific information quickly and easily when offline. Many web links are included as well for additional information.
