The Bahamas has successfully promoted itself as a destination for US jetsetters, and a lot of it is Americanised. Yet there are still opportunities among its 700 islands and 2500 cays to disappear into a mangrove forest, explore a coral reef and escape the high-rise hotels and package-tour madness.
Grand Bahama features resorts, shopping districts, casinos, and several golf courses. Caverns and wetlands attract kayakers, hikers, and bird watchers, while scuba divers thrive at sites like Ben's Cavern, Snapper Alley, and Theo's, a shipwreck.
