Island Time

by grandmaR - last update: Jul 29, 2003

The Bahamas Alphabetically by the District

Grand Bahama Banks from the air
We visited the Bahamas twice by sailboat. Most of the narratives and tips are on the individual pages.

The closest to Florida and the first place we visited is Bimini.

I have pages on:
Bimini District

Alice Town, Bimini District

North Bimini, Bimini District

South Bimini, Bimini District
Sunrise
Next alphabetically, although it is physically south east of Nassau is

Exuma District with additional tips and photos at:

Allen Cay, Exuma District

Highbourn Cay, Exuma District

Norman's Cay, Exuma District

and Shroud Cay, Exuma District although there are no tips to speak of there because the island is uninhabited.

Next alphabetically is Freeport District.

If people aren't going to Nassau, they often say they are visiting Freeport City, Freeport District

But Freeport isn't a tourist destination. That is just where the airport is for:

Grand Bahama Island, Freeport District

Most tourists go to

Lucaya, Freeport District with some tourist activity at

West End, Freeport District

The most popular destination, Nassau, is actually on New Providence Island and thus in New Providence District

After Bob's heart attack, while we were in Miami, we left our boat at: Coral Harbour, New Providence District but there is almost no touristic activity there.

Nassau, New Providence District

and Paradise Island, New Providence District are the main destinations on New Providence Island.

Alphabetically last on my list, but located between Bimini and Nassau, south of Grand Bahama is the Nichollstown and Berry Islands District

We visited first Frazer's Hog Cay, Nichollstown and Berry Islands District

and on our way back Chub Cay, Nichollstown and Berry Islands District

This still leaves lots of exploring for us to do in the Bahamas. Our next goal is the Abacos provided that the Bahamians don't keep the $300 entry fee per boat tax.

Pros:"Close to the US, and easy to get to"
Cons:"A lot of tourists and can be expensive"
In A Nutshell:"It's no problem mon. - if you are on island time"
