Bahamas Cost of Living

The cost of some goods in the Bahamas may be considered to be relatively high due to the fact that most of our goods are imported and duty and freight charges have to be added. Automobiles, food and clothing fall into this category.

Medical and dental treatment is less than non-insured treatment in the United States. At the government-owned Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau, or the Rand Hospital in Freeport, out patients' visits are inexpensive, however the wait may be long.

Nassau/Paradise Island and Freeport, Grand Bahama, have fully stocked grocery stores with brand named goods.

Discover the Islands of the Bahamas

According to the Bahamas Tourism office the Islands of the Bahamas is unique with their individual character and charm--and there is some truth to this.

Visit the main islands like beautiful Grand Bahama Island (Freeport/Lucaya) and bustling New Providence (Nassau and Paradise Island). 

Or, if you really want to get away from the crowds, visit one of the many out islands like Abaco, Andros, Acklins and Crooked Island, Biminis, Berry Islands, Cat Island, Eleuthera, Exumas, Inaguas, Mayaguana, and San Salvador.
