A foretaste of paradise

With nearly 700 islands scattered between Cuba and Florida, the Bahamas are an irresistible call to relaxation in a chic tropical setting, with their many fine sandy beaches fringed with coconut trees, their crystal-clear waters and their abundant marine life. Some 260,000 hectares of marine and land areas are now protected, including the third largest coral reef in the world. With some of the clearest waters on the planet, the Bahamian archipelago is a true paradise for lovers (Harbour Island), scuba divers (Andros), fishermen (Bimini), surfers (Eleuthera), birdwatchers (Inagua), boaters (Exumas) and families (Nassau and Paradise Island). The curious will not hesitate to stop off in the capital, Nassau, steeped in the archipelago's history with its museums and colonial remnants recalling that San Salvador was the first land trodden by Christopher Columbus after 9 weeks of sailing!
