Overview
The Bahamas stretches across 700 islands, from Nassau's cruise port tourism to the Out Islands' genuine escape. The swimming pigs of Exuma have achieved internet fame, while the diving and boating opportunities draw water enthusiasts.
For digital nomads, the BEATS program (Bahamas Extended Access Travel Stay) provides remote worker visa. Nassau has basic infrastructure, though the Out Islands are more limited. Costs are high—this is expensive Caribbean.
English is the language. The proximity to Florida creates easy US access. The Bahamas suits those seeking accessible Caribbean island base with US convenience, accepting high costs for the privilege.
