5. Exuma Cays Lands and Sea National Park

This is a remote part of the Bahama archipelago, and it’s one of the most protected. Don’t even think about touching any of the marine life, and you’re certainly not bringing anything home, nope, not even a shell! There’s not even fishing allowed in these waters. This must equal one amazing place to visit though. The sense of it being untouched is incredible, the visibility is sometimes over 100 feet, and the marine animals are abundant.
