Just a hop off the coast of Florida lies our country. The Bahamas. Nassau, Paradise Island and Cable Beach, with soft, white beaches, Goombay punch, hundreds of years of democracy and the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Freeport/Lucaya with hot days and even hotter nights. And then there's the Family Islands, like the Abacos and Eleuthera, which teem with elegance and are so quiet, you can hear your heart jump for joy. The Bahamas extends 760 miles from the coast of Florida on the north-west almost to Haiti on the south-east. The group consists of 700 islands and 2,400 cays with an area of 5,358 sq. miles (13,878 sq. km.). Thirty of the islands are inhabited. The principal islands include Abaco, Acklins, Andros, Berry Islands, Bimini, Cat Island, Crooked Island, Eleuthera, Exuma, Grand Bahama, Harbour Island, Inagua, Long Island, Mayaguana, New Providence (where the capital, Nassau, is located), Ragged Island, Rum Cay, San Salvador and Spanish Wells. The highest point in The Bahamas is 206-ft. Mount Alvernia on Cat Island. Once known as Como Hill, Mount Alvernia overlooks The Bight.
