5 FREE THINGS TO DO IN THE BAHAMAS
I call the Bahamas the starter kit to the Caribbean. With more than 700 islands it is a popular land and cruise destination.
My first land trip and cruise trip traveled to the Bahamas and I still love the excitement of visiting this property over and over again.
Since the Bahamas is so easy to reach (especially via cruise) I recommend it to first time travelers often and they have not been disappointed. The Bahamas is affordable, fun and diverse so it makes it ideal for romantic getaways, family vacations and honeymoons.

Below are 5 of my favorite must see attractions for a visit to the Bahamas.
Versailles Gardens
The Versailles Gardens are located on Paradise Island, Bahamas and overloos the Nassau Harbor.
This is perfect spot to visit if you are looking for a break from the usual beach visits. This historically garden is a great place to visit and has an amazing view of the sunset.
Also, the garden is rarely busy so you can take as many photos as you wish of the beautiful scenery.
The Queen's Staircase
The Queen’s staircase of a major historical landmark in Nassau.
Usually, it is called the 66 Steps by the locals and it once provided a direct route from Fort Fincastle to Nassau, Bahamas.
paradise beach
There are a lot of beaches in the Bahamas. They all have varying degrees of interest and beauty. Paradise Beach is a favorite for many travelers.
This beach is also great for snorkeling but be careful of the strong waves.
junkanoo beach
If you are traveling to the Bahamas via cruise ship this is the perfect beach to visit. It is a short 15 minute walk from the cruise ship and it’s free to enter.
During your walk you will get to explore downtown Nassau while you are trekking to the beach.
It’s not the fanciest beach in Nassau but it is nice. If you want to splurge some head over to the Bikini Hut and for $35 and you will get a lunch, unlimited shots and tropical drinks, 4 beers and an umbrella beach chair.
Dean's Blue Hole (Long Island)
If you are into adventure with your travel Dean’s Blue Hole is the spot for you. The Hole itself is 663 feet deep and has gorgeous blue water.
If big holes are not your cup of tea; travel to the beach nearby and let the adventure members of your group have a moment.
