Just 50 miles off the coast of Florida, you will find Nassau, the capital and largest city of the Bahamas which is comprised of 700 island sprinkled over 100,000 square miles of ocean.

As you explore Nassau you’ll realize the colorful art, lively music and soulful dancing. You’ll hear traces of African rhythms, Caribbean calypso, English folk songs and the unique Bahamian goombay traditional music.

The archipelago is an ecological oasis featuring 2,000 breathtaking islands and cays and boasts the clearest water on the planet – with visibility of over 200 feet.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus made his first landfall in the New World in the eastern Bahamas. After observing the shallow sea around the island, he said “baja mar” (shallow water or seas), and effectively named the area The Bahamas, or The Islands of the Shallow Seas. Bahamas has an average April temperature of 82 degrees. There is something for everyone, in Nassau the beauty extends far beyond the extraordinary natural wonders. It’s the smiles on the faces of the Bahamian people, the unique sounds of the rich culture, the warm hospitality and the colorful history.
