Travel Tips. News. Bahamas In The Media. The Islands Of The
Bahamas is a 100,000-sq-mile archipelago that extends over
500 miles of the clearest water in the world. Our 700 islands,
including uninhabited cays and large rocks, total an estimated
land area of 5,382 sq miles, and register a highest land elevation
of 206 ft. Most notable, however, is that each island has
it’s own diversity that continues beyond geography, carrying
through to the heart of The Bahamas, the Bahamian people.
You’ll find it in our heritage. In our culture. And in
the irony of our humble pride. These are The Islands Of The
Bahamas. Population: somewhere north of 300,000.

Research and book tours at iExplore, the leading online seller
of adventure and experiential travel. The northernmost island
lies in the Atlantic Ocean about 52 mi/84 km off the southeast
Florida coastline - in the Atlantic Ocean, not the Caribbean
as is popularly thought. The balance of the archipelago, about
700 islands and 2,000 islets called cays (pronounced keys),
tumbles south and east toward Hispaniola. With a total landmass
of more than 500 sq mi/1,300 sq km spread over 100,000 sq
mi/260,000 sq km of water, the Bahamas chain is larger than
any of the Caribbean island groups. Besides New Providence
and Grand Bahama Island, only about 30 of the other islands
are inhabited. As for topography, these islands are as flat
as Florida. They are also largely dry, lacking any kind of
streams or rivers. Because of this, no run-off sediment is
deposited into the sea, resulting in the amazingly clear waters
that surround the islands.
