Islands of the Bahamas

Book Description
Pink sands, blue holes, coral reefs and brilliant marine life - Ulysses reveals the natural beauty of this string of islands, from world-class snorkeling and scuba diving to reeling in prize catches, marveling at pink flamingoes, swimming with dolphins, sailing turquoise seas, or simply enjoying a lazy day on a deserted beach. With excursions on land and by sea, Ulysses leads you around colonial Nassau, out to the picturesque Loyalist Cays of the Abacos, along the Columbus Trail on San Salvador and past the high-stakes gambling tables and duty-free shops of Grand Bahama, and then shows you where to join the fun come Junkanoo time or regatta season. This guide also contains detailed descriptions of all the sights, star-rated to help you quickly spot the must-sees, a wide range of suggestions for accommodations and restaurants to suit all budgets. It includes a geographical, historical and cultural portrait to better understand Bahamians and the fascinating diversity of each of the islands as well as 30 maps and city plans to make island hopping through the Out Islands and getting off the tourist track a breeze.
