Top 10 Most Beautiful Beaches in Bahamas

Pink Sands Beach

Pink Sands Beach, which is considered one of the most beautiful beaches of the Bahamas and one of the favourite routes of those who come to the country for a sea holiday, got this name because the sand is really pink. The reason why the sand is pink here is a very special sea creature called Foraminifera with a red shell. When the broken shell of this creature mixes with the sand, a pink image emerges and gives the beach an extraordinary beauty. Sailors who come to Pink Sands Beach on a Bahamas boat holiday should pay attention to the tide while anchoring. The three-mile-long beach takes on a mesmerising atmosphere, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Pigs Beach

Pigs swimming in the sea are very famous in the Bahamas. Pigs Beach is one of the places where pigs like to swim the most. Those who go on a sailing holiday in the Bahamas are sure to visit this beach just to see these cute pigs and swim with them. Pigs Beach, located in the group of islands off the southeast of the Bahamas, is one of the most important stops on the Bahamas sea holiday itinerary with its underwater richness, white sandy beach and clear sea as well as swimming pigs.
