The Bahamas is a country of 700 different islands and cays, stretching southeast off the Florida coast. And if you've been thinking about an island vacation, you won't find more islands, or more interesting islands, than right here in the country of 700 islands and cays. The islands differ physically: pine f orests, white sandy beaches, limestone caves, lush plantations, bonefishing flats and the world's third largest barrier reef. And because each of the islands retains its individu al character, each has something unique and unexpected to contribute to your island vacation. Islands where everything swings from casino to golf course. Islands for the count ry-club set, where tennis overlooks mile-long beaches. Islands bustling with colonial charm. Islands for frogman and islands for fisherman. Even the islands have islands- a Sunfish sail from nearly any beach can become a voyage of discovery.
