Looking to do something meaningful and worthwhile on your Bahamian getaway?

Aside from this spirited team task, September is a fairly quiet month for events and festivals, but there is still plenty to see and do during your stay.
Top places to visit in the Bahamas in September
Just along the coast from Jaws Beach lies Johnston Beach, Clifton Bay West Coast, a true secluded hidden gem. This little treat is also part of the epic Clifton Heritage National Park. Bask in the best of both worlds with plantation ruins, hiking trails and a historic slave village, combined with some downtime at the beach.
Hop on a glass-bottom boat tour from Grand Bahama, where you can witness the mesmerising marine life while feeling practically submerged in the sea. While holidaying with a loved one, why not take a romantic sunset cruise? Alternatively, jump on a boat to Peterson Cay to discover awesome dive sites with shipwrecks, caves and beautiful reefs patiently waiting to be explored.
