The Bahamas has a long and colorful history, captivating explorers of the old world, and a favorite destination of smugglers and pirates of legend like Blackbeard and Calico Jack. The shallow waters and over 700 islands and 100,000 square miles made perfect hiding places for treasure, while the proximity to shipping lanes just off of Florida made it an attractive place for smugglers to ply their trade.
Nowadays, you’re unlikely to run into these kind of unsavoury characters, but it’s not hard to see what they loved the Bahamas so much. With over 700 islands to explore, most of which are still uninhabited to this day, along with over 30 degree celcius average temperature, the Bahamas is blessed with fantastic weather for most of the year. Trade winds blow through the islands, tempering the heat with natural cooling. Since the Bahamas do lie in the hurricane belt, try not to visit between the months of June and November as this is when a hurricane is most likely to hit.
We urge you to visit the Bahamas, explore their rich culture and history for yourself.
