| The perfect
location, the perfect climate and the perfect environment.
Some people have it all…
The perfect location is just 50 miles from
the coast of South Florida, in the Atlantic Ocean. The perfect
climate averages a little over 75 °F
(24 °C) every day. The perfect environment has an abundance
of rejuvenating sunshine, turquoise blue waters and sandy
beaches. Is it any surprise people here are so relaxed?
There are 700 islands in the Bahamas with
Grand Bahama the second largest populated island. The archipelago
is steeped in history and culture, from swashbuckling pirates
and naval battles to wildlife sanctuaries and mangrove swamps – the
islands are still a magnet for sea vessels today.
Come for
the big-game tournaments, deep-sea charters or simply to
watch the ocean waters that are a playpen for schools of
blue and white marlin, dolphin, wahoo and tuna. Go diving
on the scores of shipwrecks, coral reefs (2nd largest in
the world only after the Great Barrier reef), blue holes
and caves. Swim with the dolphins, wander through the markets,
botanical gardens or national parks.
Well, relaxing can be fun too.
The water may be plentiful but the
land is tempting too…
To begin with the Lucayan
National Park and Rand Memorial Nature Center offer the
visitor a collection of plants and wildlife giving an unparalleled
view into the complex interaction of native land and sea.
Birdwatchers
and plant lovers in particular will enjoy the island’s
rare birds and orchid species.
Golf enthusiasts can enjoy
a variety of courses offering diversity and challenge in
an ideal setting.
