9.) Thunderball Grotto
First off, the 1965 James Bond movie was filmed here, so you know it’s going to be popular. The grotto is totally gorgeous and one of the best things to do in the Bahamas.
If you need more of a reason to go, this famous grotto is located not far from Staniel Cay and is renowned for world-class snorkelling. 🐠
10.) John Watling’s Distillery
Travel to downtown Nassau and explore former estate turned distillery! Known as the “Spirit of the Bahamas”, John Watling’s Distillery produces the famous rum and other spirits. Take the tour and get in the spirit with a few tasters! 🍸
11.) Gold Rock Beach in Lucayan National Park
Lucayan National Park is located just 25 miles from Freeport and is home to the stunning turquoise waters and golden sand of Gold Rock Beach. This secluded beach has BBQ pits and picnic tables, which is amazing for a little rest and relaxation.
Visit at low tide, where the receding water is locally known to as the “welcome mat” for the Grand Bahama Island. It really is a stunner of a place.
12.) Queen’s Staircase, Nassau
Locally known as the 66-steps, the Queen’s Staircase is a spot you should stop at when in the area. Crafted in the 18th Century, it’s a perfect spot to see a little slice of history. It’s likely you won’t spend very long here, so it’s already good to see if you’re in the area.
Make sure to visit Andros The Fish Fry for some of the tastiest Bahamian dishes. Just remember to take cash as they don’t take cards.
And last but not least…
The Abaco Islands
The Abaco Islands are perched in the north of the Bahamas and a little spot you should definitely see.
Protected by one of the world’s largest barrier reefs, the Abaco chain is stunning to see, especially the uninhabited islands.
Across the islands you’ll find no less than 6 National Parks; Pelican Cays Land & Sea Park, Fowl Cays National Reserve and Abaco National Park being firm favourites.
Honestly, the colours are just incredible here. They’re easily some of the best things to do in the Bahamas, especially if you love the natural environment. After all, that’s the thing that makes the Bahamas so special; its a stunning natural beauty and picturesque coves.
