Bahamas

The Bahamas, officially the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, is a archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean consisting of over 700 islands and 2,400 cays, located southeast of Florida. Known for its “baja mar” (Spanish for “shallow sea”), the region is world-renowned for its turquoise waters, pristine white and pink sand beaches, and the Andros Barrier Reef; the third-largest in the world. Historically, the islands served as a 17th-century pirate haven for figures like Blackbeard and later became a British colony before gaining independence in 1973.
