Positioned a mere 50 miles off the coast of Florida, the Bahamas is a 100,000 sq-mile archipelago that extends over 500 miles. Its 700 islands total an estimated land area of 5,382 square miles and register a highest land elevation of 206 feet.
I love the Bahama's.....so laid back and beautiful. :0)

Thank you all.
There is my problem,. Different sources give different answers e.g. wikopedia 29 islands
geographia over 700 islands
Many of these islands are not inhabited, so that is probably why the conflicting numbers.
Some are just Atolls/Reefs.
The problem is what constitutes being called an island WIKI states 29 Islands 661 Cays (small sandy islands) and 2387 Islets (Rocks) I suppose it depends on the context of the question ??
