Beautiful Bahamas

John Watling’s Distillery, Nassau

Give yourself a history tour just walking around downtown Nassau. Visit eighteenth-century Fort Charlotte to see its moat, dungeons, underground passageways, and 42 cannons. The Queen’s Staircase features 66 steps carved by enslaved people from solid limestone, while the pastel-colored parliament building represents modern democracy in Rawson Square. The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas showcases local art in the nineteenth-century Villa Doyle.

Harbour Island has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, not just in the Bahamas. We recommend a day trip with a seafood lunch at Rooster Tail Bar & Grill at the island’s marina.

Rum lovers can also tour John Watling’s Distillery in downtown Nassau’s Buena Vista Estate. Head bartender, Wilfred “Uncle Will” Sands, crafts a fabulous hand-shaken piña colada. Watch for roosters, hens, and exotic birds wandering the lawn of the colorful eighteenth-century building with a history of bird-conservation efforts.

EXOTIC ENCOUNTERS

You could also island-hop to the Exumas to see the swimming pigs. No one knows quite how the aquatic pigs got to uninhabited Big Major Cay, but the stories are colorful, the piglets are adorable, and the iguanas are just as friendly.

When you get up close, the beauty of the Exuma cays are brimming with life. Experience sharks hands-on to collect conservation research. You’ll watch in amazement as the famous Exuma Swimming Pigs greet your arrival, and endangered sea turtles perform an elegant ballet.
