The Commonwealth of The Bahamas is an English-speaking nation made up of 700 islands that form a 100,000 square mile archipelago that extends over 500 miles of the clearest water in the world.  The Bahamas gets its name from the Spanish, baja mar, meaning 'shallow sea'. Although the Bahamas (an independent country) is not geographically located in the Caribbean although it is a member of the Caribbean Community and the Commonwealth of Nations.

The Bahamas capital city is Nassau, which is located on the island of New Providence.
