Beaches Some of the best and most unspoiled beaches in the world are found here. It’s quite literally heaven on Earth here. Just take one look at any of our breathtaking beaches. While there are certainly a number of historical attractions and fun things to do in the Bahamas, the main reason so many tourists make their way to the islands each year is for those famous white sand Bahamas beaches. Miles of pink or pure white powdery sand. Endless crystal-clear turquoise waves rolling onto the shore. And when you step into the ocean, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how clear the water is. You’ll see everything. Even your toes. |

This natural tour combines triple treats: kayaking, caving, and swimming on one of the island's most beautiful beaches. Paddle down a creek crowned by a canopy of mangrove trees, then picnic at Gold Beach, a wide stretch of dune-bordered coral sands. You'll have time for picnicking and swimming before walking a nature trail and checking out the caves' for stalactites and stalagmites. |

Snorkeling and Diving (Andros Island) Offshore of Andros the third-largest barrier reef in the world sparkles with more than 100 miles of coral formations abundant with fish. Central Park lures snorkelers and divers with its large stands of elkhorn coral growing in 15 feet of water. Further out where the water plunges to a depth of 100 feet, divers explore blue holes. Small Hope Bay Lodge, a participant in Jean-Michael Cousteau's Out Island snorkeling adventures program, arranges snorkeling trips as well as dive expeditions. |

For families who want to swim, cross the highway and visit Gold Rock Beach. This wide swath of sand is edged with pine trees (perfect for hanging your clothes on) and is a great place to walk in peace and quiet. The waters here are warm and shallow and perfect for a cool dip. There are no facilities here, so bring along something to drink.. |

On Grand Bahama, another favorite stop is the Garden of the Groves botanical garden. This 12-acre botanical garden is home to over 10,000 varieties of flowers, trees, and shrubs from around the world. Quiet, shaded paths wind through the gardens; you can take time and sit by a waterfall and hear the call of native birds. |
