Spend a half-day or more fishing or snorkeling around Grand Bahama. The Bahamas consist of over 700 islands and 2000 cays. The islands were under British rule until 1973 when the Commonwealth of the Bahamas became an independent nation. Major airports are in Freeport and Nassau with connecting flights to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. Bahamas Air, American Eagle, and Continental Connection have flights daily.
Charter flights are available to the smaller islands.
With air temperatures usually between 68 and 88 degrees year-round and beautiful, crystal clear waters, the Bahamas are a very popular tourist destination for beachgoers, fishermen, divers, and cruise ships.
