6. Elbow Cay
What a chilled out village atmosphere this spot exudes. There’s no hustle and bustle here, mostly thanks to the pedestrian-friendliness of the town, no cars allowed here! A New England-styled center is quite charming with stripy lighthouses and fishing boats bobbing at the marinas.

5. Exuma Cays Lands and Sea National Park
This is a remote part of the Bahama archipelago, and it’s one of the most protected. Don’t even think about touching any of the marine life, and you’re certainly not bringing anything home, nope, not even a shell! There’s not even fishing allowed in these waters. This must equal one amazing place to visit though. The sense of it being untouched is incredible, the visibility is sometimes over 100 feet, and the marine animals are abundant.
