Known as one of the most beautiful tropical paradises on the Atlantic, the Bahamas features remarkable white sand beaches and turquoise waters that glisten in the sun. Its capital Nassau alone is filled with many attractions such as the historical forts of Charlotte, Fincastle, and Montagu which have retained much of their features. Families can meet the native wildlife at Ardastra Gardens & Wildlife Conservation Centre, while shopaholics can find amazing handcrafts at the Straw Market. Outside Nassau, travelers can find many other unique experiences which include frolicking with the world-famous Swimming Pigs of Big Major Cay.
