Top 5 Filming Locations in the Bahamas
Nassau
Nassau, the capital and largest city of the Bahamas, is home to over 70% of the country’s population. It serves as the center of commerce, education, law, administration, and media. The city can be easily accessed by air or sea, with an airport and multiple docks available, making it a convenient location for film productions.
Paradise Island
Paradise Island, formerly known as Hog Island, is located just off the shore of the city of Nassau on the northern edge of the island of New Providence. It is most notable for the numerous resorts, including Atlantis, which features extensive water park rides, pools, beaches, restaurants, a walk-in aquarium, and casinos. One of the casinos at Atlantis was even used in the filming of ‘Casino Royale’.
Bimini
Bimini is the closest point in the Bahamas to mainland Miami, Florida, United States. Popular activities here include scuba diving and snorkeling, as there are many shipwrecks in the area. The Bimini Airport in South Bimini Island was used as a filming location for “The Silence of the Lambs”.
CocoCay
CocoCay or Little Stirrup Cay is one of the Berry Islands, a collection of Bahamian cays and small islands located north of Nassau. It is used for tourism by the Royal Caribbean Group exclusively. A family trip or vacation movie would be great to shoot on this island.
Ben’s Cave
Ben’s Cave is one of the two inland blue holes within The Lucayan National Park. This natural feature is definitely a sight to see, and a dive into the cavern is a visit to the ancient past. Noted you must be a professional diver to dive here, but to get a look from underwater like this would be a stunning image on the screen in your film.
