Top Family-Friendly Resorts in the Bahamas
The Bahamas, known for its stunning turquoise waters and diverse resort options, is an ideal family vacation spot. Easily accessible from the East Coast, particularly Florida, the archipelago offers a range of accommodations from budget-friendly to luxury. While many islands cater to tourists, New Providence, home to Nassau and Paradise Island, boasts major resorts like Atlantis and Baha Mar.
