Destination introduction
The geography of the Bahamas surprises first-time visitors - 700 islands and 2,400 smaller cays scattered across a 1,000-mile swathe of the Atlantic Ocean from the Florida coast to eastern Cuba.
This former haven of pirates, smugglers and rum-runners is now dedicated to holiday pleasure. Spend a week or two here and adjust to the islands' three paces of life... slow, stop and reverse.
