The Bahamas is a country made up of hundreds of islands. Located less than 50 miles to the East-Southeast of Florida in the Atlantic Ocean. The three most popular spots are on the islands of Bimini, Grand Bahama and Paradise Island where the capital of Nassau is located.
Long ago the Bahamas were home to pirates including the legendary Blackbeard, Anne Bonney and Henry Morgan. Yes, we know the connection you are thinking about. For you drinkers and we are only talking about you legal drinkers; watch out for the national drink; "Bahama Mamas", a rum drink that goes down smooth.
In many of the old buildings in the capital there is a decided British feel; as the Bahamas were at times a British colony. Great Britain granted the islands self-government in 1964 and changed their status from colony to Commonwealth in 1969. In 1973, the Commonwealth of The Bahamas became independent within the Commonwealth of Nations, but retained Queen Elizabeth II as constitutional head of state.
Have a great springbreak in the Bahamas
