Some call it paradise, but we know it as the Bahamas. With flamingos in the skies and pods of dolphins in the seas, it only takes a second to relax into the charm of its narrow streets, picket fences, and colorful clapboard houses. The only thing outnumbering these islands are the reasons travelers love them. Nassau is a cruise ship darling, its two-mile Cable Beach drawing crowds; its international airport is always bustling with visitors headed to nearby Paradise Island and the planet's largest open-air marine habitat. Grand Bahama Island, home of the Lucayan National Park and its six-mile-long mapped underwater cave system, is also where the archipelago's most upscale golf courses are. Of course, the Out Islands offer a more secluded, sheltered experience for vacationers who want to kick back and reset their clocks to island time. On all the islands, you'll find dockside restaurants serving delectable conch dishes, spectacular diving—including plunges to amazing blue holes—and snorkeling, incredible boating and more…all just steps away from boundless beaches. 16 12 10 2 1 3 6 5 4 7 9 8 11 17 13 15 18 14 Bahamas | 21
