For a true Bahamian experience, relax. On our island, life is easy. English is spoken, and American dollars are on par with Bahamian dollars. In this section you’ll find other practical, good-to-know-before-you-go information. Which leaves you plenty of time to read about our culture and the Arawak Indians, Spanish invaders, pirates, British Colonialists, West Africans and local folk who’ve all been part of our interesting history.
All through the islands of The Bahamas, music is woven deeply into the fabric of daily life, so much so that one of the evocative nicknames given to our archipelago is the Islands of Song. Over the centuries, our protected harbor has sheltered religious dissenters, ship wreckers, pirates, freed slaves, blockade runners, rum smugglers and runaway lovers.
