Culture

Self-expression is the cornerstone of Bahamian culture. Colourful art, lively music and soulful dances reflect the charisma and beauty of the islands. English is the national language, flavoured with a Bahamian dialect drawing from English, African languages and local creole patois.

Cuisine

Bahamian cuisine has a distinct spice palate, wreathed around the seafood that forms the islanders' core diet. Local delicacies include land crabs and Bahamian rock lobster, and many dishes are served with pigeon peas and rice mixed with spices, tomatoes and onions.

Beaches

Miles of pinkish powdery sand offer an otherworldly essence to beaches in the Bahamas, and endless crystal-clear turquoise waves rolling onto shore form an unequalled playground for water sports. Let your hair down on miles of beachfront on Nassau island, or get away from the crowds on the remote beaches of the Outer Islands.

Climate

Trade winds bestow warm weather year-round to the Bahamas, making them a safe bet for holidays any time of the year. September - May is the coolest period, and during the rest of the year the humidity is refreshingly offset by the ocean breezes.
