Hello Amy and The Great World readers! I’m Carly. I write over at Let Us Wanderlust, my life, style and travel blog, where I share the things that make me happy in life. Travel is one of my greatest passions, and my fiancé Tyrone and I have had some amazing travel adventures so far. We call Australia home but today I wanted to share with you another part of the world very close to my heart – Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

While living and road tripping our way around Canada and the US, we made the impromptu decision to
fly to Paradise Island in the Bahamas and it was here that Ty, my then-boyfriend, asked me to marry him on a deserted beach in the late afternoon sun. That was undoubtedly my favourite moment from our time on Paradise Island, but there were lots of others as well! Here are my two top must-sees and must-dos for Paradise Island, the Bahamas:

Despite the rather unfortunate name, Cabbage Beach is one of the most breathtaking beaches I’ve ever set foot on, and an absolute must for anyone visiting Paradise Island. Located just a short stroll from the Atlantis Resort, the beach is the perfect sanctuary to spend a lazy day. The sand is soft between your feet, the ocean is the prettiest hue of turquoise and the view never ceases to amaze! It is perfect.

 

 

Must-do: Island bike tour

Is there a better way to explore an Island than by bike? I think not! There are bike tours available all over the island, but Ty and I went on the one provided by the resort we were staying at. All the while our amazing guide told us fascinating stories of bohemian history, we explored the exquisitely beautiful Versailles Gardens and French Cloister. The resemblance to France’s Palace of Versailles Gardens is uncanny, which is entirely the point as it was designed as a smaller replica.

Have you been to the Bahamas? What’s your favourite thing to do on a beach holiday?
