The Bahamas is well-known for its beautiful ocean waters, and pristine beaches...but what is the geography really like? You might be surprised by just how interesting the Bahamas geography is, and we can assure you it might even encourage you to travel to our beautiful area of the world. Here is all of the information you need to know about the Bahamas before visiting.

The first thing to know is that the Bahamas lie 50 miles off of the Florida coast and they are made up of approximately 700 islands/cays, although only about 30 of them are inhabited by people. The two biggest islands, Grand Bahama and New Providence make up the majority of tourism here in our favorite Caribbean location. While Grand Bahamas might be equally as large, the capital of the Bahamas (Nassau) is located on the island of New Providence. Stretching over 100,000 square miles, the Bahamas islands was mostly formed by coral reefs and seashells.

The geography of the Bahamas is perfect for the beautiful and unique wildlife that inhabit the island. From turtles to iguanas, you’ll truly see some of the most unique wildlife in the Caribbean. Did you know that the world's largest colony of pink flamingos in habit the Bahamas? The perfect temperatures and beautiful sunshine allows the flamingos to thrive on the beautiful soft beaches. More wildlife thrives in the Andros Barrier Reef - one of the longest coral reefs in the world. This reef is home to native, bright colored and tropical fish. 

The Bahamas is home to a number to beautiful wildlife/nature parks and conservatories that you can visit as well if you are interested in ecotourism. Including:

• Fern Gully/Josey Cave and Nature Trail: With various bird and local animal species, nature enthusiasts will love the Fern Gully/Josey Cave and Nature Trail. 
• Lake Windsor: Also known as Lake Rosa, Lake Windsor is the largest lake in the Bahamas and is home to a flock of Caribbean flamingos - the largest in the northern hemisphere. 
• Andros Nature Conservatory and Trust (ANCAT): The ANCAT is home nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to the conservation and protection of the Andros Islands and its animal wildlife. 
• Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park: The Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is one of the most gorgeous areas to dive in. With visibility up to 100 feet, and warm water temperatures, you’ll have the opportunity to see large schools of reef fish enjoy a large variety of marine life. 
• Moriah Harbour Cay National Park: If marine life isn’t your thing, try exploring at Moriah Harbour Cay National Park - home to a wide variety of bird-life who have chosen to nest in and around the National Park.

Aren’t we all looking for a reason to book a trip to the Bahamas? The Bahamas is one of the most beautiful areas in the Carribbean, but it can be hard to convince yourself to spend the money on a fun vacation - particularly when the holidays are right around the corner. No fear! Your bonefishing experts are here to give you the five reasons you should book a beach trip to the Bahamas immediately. 

Vitamin D
Basking in the sun on the beach is a great way to get a kick of Vitamin D. While you can get your daily dose of Vitamin D through beverage/food intake, the majority of people actually get it from being outside. A few days on the beach, in the sun, is just what you need to get an instant pick me up.

The Sand and Sea 
We aren’t done with why the beach is good for your body! The grainy nature of sand makes it a fantastic all-natural exfoliant. Some sand and sun is a great way to have your body feeling soft, smooth, and ready to take on the world. Sea water can also help to preserve the skin - it’s full of anti aging properties and can help your skin maintain it’s natural elasticity. 

Decompress - Mentally
Taking a trip to the beach will help you unplug and rest - but ultimately it has been shown to reduce depression. Did you know that technology such as cell phones, tables, and even computers have been linked to depression and anxiety? Taking the time to unplug is a fantastic way to reset your mind and soul.

Sleep 
This goes hand in hand with decompressing. A day at the beach will lead to a fantastic night of sleep immediately after. Why? Because often times people struggle to fall asleep due to anxiety, and stress. As we just mentioned, a day at the beach can help both of those things. Did you know that sun exposure can also help to regulate hormones - making it easier to fall asleep.

Exercise
If exercise isn’t your thing, don’t worry. The beach is a natural way to get some extra exercise in. Just think about it, when you go to the beach you typically enjoy a day walking up and down the shoreline or even getting your toes wet and taking a swim. This little extra exercise can do wonders for your mood, and ultimately your body.
