For years, I have always wanted to visit the Bahamas. 

Last summer, I did so when friend Mitch Geriminsky and I took a cruise there from Miami, Florida. During the cruise, we visited Freeport, Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay (a private island owned by the cruise company, Norwegian Cruise Line). I have a cousin vacationing there as I write this.

Our visit was limited, but enjoyable. I can easily see why the late Sean Connery chose to live there.

AOL has posted an article of the 11 best things to do in the Bahamas. 

It begins with:

The Bahamas, as a surprise to many, isn’t just one island. It’s an archipelago comprised of over 700 islands (although only 30 are inhabited) and nearly 2,400 cays spread over miles of pristine turquoise and deep cobalt waters. Although they’re most famous for their white (and sometimes pink) sandy beaches and the island’s capital hub of Nassau, the Bahamas offers an incredibly diverse variety of things to do and see.

“There's so much more to The Bahamas than what you would find as a cruise ship passenger in Nassau for the day. You truly haven't experienced the real, authentic, wild Bahamas until you've been to Abaco, Eleuthera, Exuma, or any one of the others,” Angie Orth told us. Orth is an award-winning travel writer, blogger and novelist, author of the acclaimed novel Flirting with Disaster, who spent over 5 years as an integral member of the public relations firm representing the Bahamas.

From the iconic pink sand beach to secluded coves, caves and underwater grottos, here are the 11 best things to do in the Bahamas—no matter who you’re traveling with.
