Bahamas Islands

Providence, Nassau and the Bahamas Bank

An aerial filming trip between Nassau, the Bahamas bank and its sandbars, the paradise islands of the Exumas.

The Bahamas comprises over 700 islands and cays spread over approximately 260,000 km2 and forming part of the Lucayan Islands, the remainder of which is occupied by the British Overseas Territory of Turks and Caicos. Only about 20 of these islands are permanently inhabited. The closest island to the United States, South Bimini, is only 83 km east of Miami Beach on the southeast coast of Florida. The southernmost island, Great Inagua, lies 89 km northeast of Punta Azules on the eastern tip of Cuba.
The largest island in the Bahamas is Andros, to the west. The island of New Providence, to the east of Andros, is the site of the capital, Nassau, and accounts for two-thirds of the total population. The other major islands are Grand Bahama to the north and Inagua to the south.
Most of the islands - coral formations - are relatively flat, with some low hills, the highest of which is Mount Alvernia on Cat Island, at 63 m. The climate is tropical, moderated by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, but is regularly hit by hurricanes or tropical storms.
