Bahamas

When most people hear the word , their minds immediately conjure images of swimming pigs, celebrity sightings, and water so blue it looks digitally enhanced. While those visions are accurate, the Bahamas is a country of staggering depth. Spanning over 100,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean, this archipelago of 700 islands and 2,400 cays offers everything from world-class deep-sea fishing to historic pirate strongholds.
