Named by Christopher Columbus after reaching land in San Salvador, the Bahamas has become one of the world's tourist hotspots. Consisting of 23 inhabited islands and thousands of smaller outcroppings, the tropical destination stretches over 760 miles. AAA presents a one-hour tour of the varied islands in AAA Travel Video Series: The Bahamas. From barren deserts to fragrant forests, the islands have it all. They also feature five percent of the world's reef mass and play host to an onslaught of adventure-seeking travelers. AAA visits the townships and islets that populate the Bahamas from Florida to South America. The sweeping photography explains why so many travelers, including Ernest Hemingway, made the Bahamas a temporary home. ~ Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide
