 | Proof of Citizenship - A passport or an original (not a copy) birth certificate (a driver's license will not do) is acceptable plus one other picture i.d. (driver's license) is a good idea. As of January 1, 2007 all returning US citizens will be required to have a passport. Please use this link to the Department of State for passport information - click here. |
 | Special Articles - Bring all prescription drugs or medications used, sunscreens in varying strengths, insect repellant. The local stores have a limited and pricey selection. |
 | Beach Gear - At least 2 beach towels per person, your own snorkeling, scuba and/or fishing gear. All equipment can be rented locally. |
 | Food - Grocery stores are now open 7 days a week except certain holidays so there is no need to bring food with you. All food products except citrus fruits may be brought into the Bahamas. |
 | Clothing - Sunwear, swimsuits and casual clothes are the order of life here. Keep valuables to a minimum. |
 | Cash or Travelers' Checks - All restaurants and shops accept most major credit cards as do other island establishments, but cash will be needed for taxis, liquor, food and incidentals. United States or Bahamian currency are used at a one for one rate. |
