The Bahamas is an archipelago of many islands and cays. New Providence Island, 21 miles long and nearly 7 miles wide, holds Nassau, the capital, with white-sand beaches and a lively downtown. The National Art Gallery and Junkanoo Museum showcase local art and traditions shaped by African, English, and West Indian influences. Historic sites like Fort Charlotte and the Pompey Museum trace Nassau's past, while a bridge and ferries link the harbor to Paradise Island's resorts and beaches.

Once a Prohibition-era haven for rum runners and anglers, Bimini is just two hours from Miami and long known for fishing, gambling, hotels, and nightlife on North Bimini's beaches. Hemingway helped make it famous in the 1930s. Today visitors snorkel and dive at a shipwreck and Bimini Road, and visit nearby reefs like Rainbow Reef and Tuna Alley. Sharks and stingrays are studied and protected at the Shark Lab on South Bimini.

Closer to Cuba than Miami, Key West-the southernmost city in the continental U.S.-feels like its own world. Known for quirky charm, free spirits, six-toed cats, barefoot streets, and roaming chickens, it offers Caribbean villas, Keys conch houses, and Victorian and Queen Anne homes. Don't miss Mallory Square sunset, the Hemingway Home, and authentic Key lime pie. Dining ranges from waterfront seafood to Cuban food and Duval Street fine dining.
