Tourist Places in Bahamas
Paradise Beach and Cabbage Beach
There are two great beaches in the Paradise Islands namely the Paradise beach and the Cabbage beach. The Paradise has beautiful sands but it is difficult for non–hotel visitors to access. The Cabbage beach has full of coconut palms and sea grape and stretches for about two miles.
The Government House in Bahamas is the place where the British governors once lived. Here every other Saturday, you can watch a bit of old pomp, while changing the guard takes place. The Fort Charlotte in the Bahamas is the largest of all the forts. The fort was built in the late 1780s and was built by Lord Dunmore, who was the governor at that time. The ramparts of the fort offer one of the best views of Nassau.
Abaco Wild Horse Preserve
It is located near the Treasure Cay. It is a fascinating place. This island houses a lot of horses. These horses were brought by the crew members of Christopher Columbus to this area. The horses are one of the purest strains of Spanish Barbs in existence. Nowadays, the government protects these endangered species.
Royal Victoria Gardens
The Royal Victoria Gardens in Bahamas was actually a leftover of a fire incident, where the fire engulfed the Victoria Hotel building. The gardens, empty shell of pillars and stone are the only things that are left after that incident. After that incident, the resulting landscape was a spectacular cross between a botanical garden and something like a Roman ruin. This is also one of the most visited sites in Bahamas
