The Bahamas

Although technically located in the North Atlantic rather than the Caribbean, the Bahamas cannot be overlooked when planning a tropical family vacation. It's no coincidence that the islands' tourism slogan is "It's better in the Bahamas." You'll be hard pressed to disagree while sifting your fingers through powder fine sand with a frosty beverage in hand and watching the kids splash through shallow warm waters.

In fact, with hundreds of coral cays and islands to choose from, the only difficult part for vacationing families is deciding where to go. Eleuthera may be the island for you if you enjoy long sandy stretches. Looking for something more tropically urban? Then consider the flashy hotels of New Providence and Nassau, as well as the large resorts on Grand Bahama Island. Whatever you do, make sure your Caribbean family beach vacation includes a boat ride or two—if money is no object, charter the Motor Yacht Loon—to get out onto the beautiful Bahamian waters, where the blues are hard to beat.

The big players in Nassau are Atlantis Bahamas, with its legendary water park and aquariums with manta rays; and the sprawling Baha Mar complex, home to three luxury hotels. Don’t overlook smaller properties like Compass Point Beach Resort for a more rustic appeal on equally fine stretches of sand, though. Private island stays are a thing for travelers with deep pockets in the Bahamas, too, with spots like Royal Island on Eleuthera—with five bungalows and three suites begging for a multi-generation escape—leading the pack.
