The Bahamas
 New Providence, the Bahamas
Most
visitors erroneously call it “Nassau” because the island is the site
of the nation’s capital, which was named after the Dutch Prince of
Orange-Nassau in 1695 after he took over the British throne. In truth, the
island is New Providence where about two-thirds of the Bahamian population
lives, and where millions of dollars are invested in Nassau, Cable Beach, and
Paradise Island. In recent years, New Providence has created a name for itself
as one of the top places to visit when on a Caribbean island travel.
Considered an offshore financial center, New Providence is most obviously a
fabulous shopping bazaar and Caribbean island travel destination. Stroll along
the world-famous Bay Street and side streets and bask in the Caribbean carnival
atmosphere. Or visit one of the out islands of the Bahamas – the famous
Nassau and Paradise Island, connected with each other by a bridge.
But while the Bahamas has plenty to offer, what it is really most famous for is
its island groove. The drumbeat is the essence and the soul of Bahamian culture
with the instrument setting the heartbeat for all Bahamian music, including
rake ‘n scrape, Junkanoo and goombay.
Atlantis Paradise Island
Located
on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, the Atlantis Paradise Island offers so many
activities that it's probably one of the only resorts in the world where you'll
need a map to even get around!
The accommodations here range from
moderately priced to very expensive. Families on vacation here should consider
staying in the Coral Towers, which is the most centrally located tower at
Atlantis. The Coral Towers is also closest to the Predator Lagoon and the
Lagoon Pool as well.
Atlantis Paradise Island Resort is also packed with
activities for guests of all ages. The eleven pool areas, miles of sandy beach,
and Neptune's Water Toys Hut give guests access to many water based activities.
Neptune's provides non motorized water sports which include water bikes, pedal
boats, kayaks, and even snorkeling equipment rentals.
Hybrid Beat – Bahamas
If you want a decidedly patrician vibe during your Caribbean travel
vacation, then the Landing, a seven-room inn on Harbour Island is exactly for
you. There are no televisions, no phones, or Internet connections – things
that distract you from the sheer beauty of the beach a few blocks away. And for
only $240, you can get one of the bay-view rooms, which offer the best views of
the harbor and comes with crisp white linens, terraces, and four-poster beds.
You can experience the white sandy beaches of the Caribbean at
Atlantis Paradise in the Bahamas. Atlantis Paradise gives
you long romantic walks on the beach or the chance to play in the water at the
resort. This paradise offers you tropical climate with your own personal slice
of heaven - something every beach lover will truly appreciate.

Nassau, BS 
Slip past swaying palms and sea
grapes to Seven Mile Beach, Jamaica's longest stretch of white sand. Lay out
your towel, sink into the sand and let slow-pulse reggae rhythms get you in the
mood for some serious chillin out.
Nassau is a scintillating clash
of contrasts--from glitzy casinos to quiet, shady lanes; modern, galvanizing
resorts to tiny settlements; and couture shopping to chatty street vendors.
Och's vibrant energy draws
visitors one hour south of Montego Bay to natural beauty, lazy beaches and
Jamaican merriment.
