Two separate wet seasons shape the year here, roughly around May and September, with drier, more reliable stretches in between rather than one long wet or dry season. In January, expect highs around 30°C with rain on roughly 5 days of the month.
Nassau's colonial architecture and straw markets are a good introduction, but the real draw is the water — swimming pigs at Exuma, the Andros barrier reef (the third-largest in the world), and countless cays for boat-hopping. Atlantis Paradise Island's marine habitats and water park are a major draw for families specifically. The Out Islands offer a much quieter, less developed alternative to Nassau and Freeport if you want to escape the cruise-ship crowds.
Try conch salad and Bahamian-style cracked conch, island staples.
