BAHAMAS​

The Bahamas lie 50 miles off the coast of Miami. A cluster of alluring islands famous for swimming pigs, lagoon waters and more recently a very controversial Netflix program 'Fyre', and an absolute must see. 

​

The 700 islands and cays range from uninhabited to packed with resorts. The Northernmost, Grand Bahama, and Paradise Island, home to many large scale hotels, are among the best known.
