Bahamas map

The Bahamas are made up of approximately 700 islands. These islands are to the west of Florida in the Atlantic Ocean. Most people think of the Bahamas as Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, or Nassau, Providence Island. That is just a small tip of the real Bahamas. The other islands in the Bahamas are referred to the as the Family Islands. The largest island group in the Bahamas is Andros. Andros has three major groupings: North Andros, Central Andros, and South Andros. Though not heavily populated each area has daily air service, and the mail boats come twice a week. Groceries come from Nassau to the Family Islands on the mail boats. Lynx Air also flys into Andros from Fort Lauderdale twice a week. Continental Airlines also flys into North Andros.
