About The Bahamas
The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, usually referred to as The Bahamas, is an archipelago consisting of over 700 islands and cays.
Stretching from just 90 miles east-southeast of Florida, down to the West Indian islands of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, are
15 distinct island areas spread over 90,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean.
The Islands of The Bahamas are an independent country, part of the British Commonwealth, whose head of state is the Queen of England. The Bahamas are one of the world's premier vacation destinations,
as well as a reputable financial center for international banking and investment
management.
The central island of New Providence is where the capital city of Nassau is
located. Nassau is the country's hub of business and finance, seat of government, largest shopping area and most visited vacation destination.
