What could be better than sitting on a beach and reading a good book? What about swimming with colorful schools of fish? Or exploring 30 different islands? The Bahamas are one of the most popular tourist spots in the world. With over 30 small islands, there are plenty of places to go and see here, in the northwestern West Indies. The Bahamas is filled with beautiful beaches to see, amazing food to eat, and great music to listen to. This past summer I visited the Bahamas for two weeks and had a trip of a lifetime. There are many reasons that the Bahamas should be your next vacation spot. To start with, the beaches are incredible. Pearly white sand that makes you feel like you’re walking on clouds. After walking across the soft sand, you lay out in the warm weather relaxing while reading a good book. The average temperature in the summer seasons are around 85-90 degrees. This is a perfect temperature; you will be able to work on a nice tan and intake lots of vitamin D. When the sun becomes too hot, the crystal blue water will fresh you. The combination of turquoise and teal colored water is what the Bahamas is known for. Some of the best snorkeling locations in the world are located here. You will see nerf sharks, puffer fish, stingrays, and a collection of vibrant colors under the water. One of my favorite activities I did here was visit Pig Island. This island is full of pigs that you can take pictures with and explore the island with, as well as feed them, and they love hotdogs. The food here was so good. They are known for their Conch, it’s a small snail and can be cooked many ways. This was the first meal I had when I arrived here, and I had it multiple times again that week, it’s delicious. Freshly caught seafood is available daily, as well as a plethora of other amazing dishes. Each night at dinner there would be a wonderful brand playing. The music here is tropical and fun, this kind of music makes you want to get up and dance. Music makes everything better at the beach and makes dinner even more enjoyable. Overall, my Bahamas experience was a trip I will never forget. The combination of amazing beaches, fun excursions, and great food is why I believe this is one of the best vacation spots. You can find a little bit of everything here and it is great for families of all age groups. The Bahamas is the full package and has it all, and you should definitely visit it on your next vacation.
