The best packing lists for Bahamas

The Bahamas are an archipelago, and that shapes the packing. You move between islands by boat or small plane, and both prefer soft bags to hard shells. The Out Islands have little infrastructure, so whatever you need by the water comes with you.

Good to know for Bahamas

December to April is the dry stretch, and when a northern front arrives it turns windy and cool enough for a jacket after dark. June to November is the wet season with hurricane risk. On the water the wind is almost always stronger than it looked from the sand.

The Bahamian dollar runs one to one with the US dollar and both circulate side by side. Outlets follow the US standard and the grid carries 120 volts. The water often tastes brackish because it is usually desalinated, so people drink bottled.

Pale sand reflects enough light to burn you from below. A polarised pair of sunglasses and a long-sleeved swim shirt are the two items that earn their space.
