Other things to note
Water:
Fresh water is scarce and expensive on Eleuthera, so take this into consideration and be very conservative while showering, washing dishes, etc. You will notice that the water pressure may be a lot lower than what you are typically used to. Many homes either have a cistern and/or an underground water storage tank where they have water shipped in. Some of the locals use this water for cooking, ice and a few even drink it, but it is not recommended for foreigners. PLEASE DO NOT DRINK THE TAP WATER- you will need to purchase drinking water.
Electricity:
The Bahamas uses the same 110-120 volt outlets as the U.S. and Canada, so if you are coming from North America you do not need an adapter. Electricity on the islands is typically diesel generated and very expensive. Please remember to turn off the lights when you are not using them, and only use the AC when you are present and absolutely need it. It is very common to have intermittent power outages on the island so do not be surprised if you experience one or more power outages during your vacation. It usually only lasts a few minutes. This is just part of your Out Island vacation adventure.
Currency:
The Bahamian dollar ($B) is equal to the U.S. dollar and Bahamian and U.S cash are used interchangeably. There are a few banks with ATM’s on the island where you can withdrawal cash. The ATM you can use depends on the type of card your origin country. Most establishments (grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, etc.) only accept cash. Bring cash!
Driving:
The speed limit is 35-45 on the highway and 15 in the settlements. The Bahamas follow British driving rules so remember to DRIVE ON THE LEFT!! The roads generally do not have a shoulder and do not have lines painted on them. Due to the climate in the Bahamas the roads break down rather quickly so they may seem a lot rougher than what you are used to. Most people are not comfortable going 45mph on these skinny island roads. Be aware of the locals who tend to drive faster than the speed limit and are occasionally known to pass on blind corners. If you find someone behind you who wants to drive faster than you, please pull over to let them pass as soon as you safely can.
