The Bahamas include about 700 different islands and over 2,000 keys. The Bahamas extend for 750 miles in an arc. They were formed by rising coral. The climates are mostly semitropical. The rainfall each year is about 50 inches. Some of the islands are often short of rainfall. But in the fall hurricanes come through with very heavy rain and strong gusty winds. The main islands include Acklins, Andros, Cat, Eleuthera, Grand Bahama, Great Abaco, Great Exuma, Great Inagua, Little Abaco, New Providence, and San Salvador.

The nation of the Bahamas has begun to mature as an independent nation, and a viable two party system is clearly established.

BDA Tour Main Travel Miscellany Short History of Bahamas Climate ][ Geography ] The Official BDA Web Site Bahamas Tourism Geography In many respects the geography is similar, although certainly not identical, from island to island. At one time when the global seas were lower, these islands were part of a large interconnected landmass. As the Ice Age ended and the seawater held frozen at the polar caps melted, the rising sea level made islands of the higher peaks and created a vast submarine plateau known as the Great Bahama Bank. The highest point in the Bahamas is now just 206 feet at Cat Island and only 5,400 square miles of land remains above sea level. There are deep oceanic trenches such as the Tongue of the Ocean that plunge to more than 6,000 feet, as well mangrove forests, shallow sand banks, isolated patch reefs, and extensive fringing reefs surrounding most of the islands, all of which contribute to the dive diversity. Most of the larger islands are typically low in elevation and at least partially rimmed by sugary sand beach. There will be patches of ironshore as well, and the island interior will be thick with casuarina, pine, and palm trees. Some islands like New Providence and Grand Bahama feature well-developed metropolitan centers, and are world-renowned for their banking, casinos, and shopping. The Out Islands are far more laid-back, and feature small villages where the local populace survives by fishing, a little farming, and of course providing services to the tourists who come to sample their unique pleasures. The islands of the Bahamas provide subtle contrast, above and below the surface, each offering its own unique rewards for the visiting watersports enthusiast.

BDA Tour Main Travel Miscellany ][ Short History of Bahamas ][ Climate Geography The Official BDA Web Site Bahamas Tourism A Short History of the Bahamas Even though the islands of the Bahamas are geographically near to the United States, stretching from just 70 miles east of Florida's Palm Beaches to 750 miles to the south, their culture and their historical development evolved quite differently. Columbus was the first European to sight these islands. As any schoolchild knows, popular convention suggests that his first landfall was October 12, 1492, at San Salvador in the Southern Bahamas. Not that it matters in the total scheme of things today, but other researchers suggest that the first landfall might have been at Samana Cay, some 60 miles to the southeast of San Salvador. In either case, the first local residents were probably Arawak Indians, refugees from elsewhere in the Caribbean trying to escape the vicious Carib Indians. Evidence suggests they immigrated to the Bahamas around the beginning of the 9th century. Shy and gentle, the Arawaks offered great hospitality to the crew of the Nina, Pinta

The Bahamas Guide Travel Islands Real Estate ... Advertise on the Bahamas Guide! Geography of the Bahamas The Bahama Islands are the result of coral reefs which become dry land when the sea level dropped hundreds of centuries ago. Geographically considered part of the Caribbean, the archipelago that encompasses the Islands of The Bahamas lies in the Atlantic Ocean, extending more than 650 miles from the eastern coast of Florida to the southeastern tip of Cuba. The Tropic of Cancer runs through the Great Bahama Bank and through the Island of Great Exuma. The Commonwealth of The Bahamas is a group of some 700 Islands and nearly 2,500 small islets or cays. Approximately 30 of these Islands are inhabited. The two major population centers are the capital, Nassau which is located on New Providence Island and Freeport, located on Grand Bahama Island. The other populated Islands and cays are called Family Islands. he Islands of The Bahamas stretch Southeast off the Florida coast, the closest Family Island to the U.S. mainland being Bimini, about 50 miles off the coast of South Florida. The other Islands stretch across roughly 100,000 square miles of ocean, beginning at their northernmost point about 175 miles east of Palm Beach, Florida and winding nearly 750 miles to the southeast where they are within 50 miles of Cuba and Hispaniola (Haiti).
