The Bahamas is made up of about 700 islands and over 2,000 cays.

The Bahamas is not just one island but a group of hundreds of islands and smaller landforms called cays. These islands stretch over a long distance in the Atlantic Ocean. This vast spread gives the country its unique geography and diverse ecosystems, from sandy beaches to coral reefs. Many of these islands are uninhabited, which adds to the natural beauty and wildness of the area.
