In and around the city of Nassau there are many fun and colorful things to enjoy.  There is an abundance of wildlife, coral reefs, white beaches, and some old ruins.
	You can start the day by enjoying a spectacularly colorful coral reef.  There are many types of fish, corals, sharks, dolphins and so much more.
Also, if you like the water, you can enjoy the day scuba diving in and around the reefs.
	Another less colorful, but extremely splendid adventure would be to spend a day building sandcastles, swimming, and tanning on a pure white beach with crystal clear blue waters.
Also around the city, you can find the ports and surrounding waters filled with ships, fishing boats, and locally owned boats.  To lead those boats to shore, the city of Nassau ahs a spectacular, historic lighthouse which is very helpful to the ports.
	As you go farther out into the forests, you will go to enjoy a huge variety of wild life.  The national bird is the flamingo and the Bahamas hold the worlds largest flock of flamingos so you are almost certain to encounter one on you journey.
