Of all the Caribbean isles, the islands of the Bahamas are among the most frequented by travelers. When Cuba was closed to US tourists in the 1950s, the Bahamas forged ahead to become one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. The Bahamas encompass about 700 coral-based islands and 2,000 cays (pronounced "keys"). These islands and cays attract tourists for a variety of reasons, including beaches, diving, snorkeling, fishing, golf, and shopping. The Bahamas lie only 50 miles off Florida's coast, making them a popular destination for many Americans. The islands' two major cities are Nassau, on New Providence Island, and Freeport, on Grand Bahama Island. Some travelers enjoy cruising to the Caribbean islands, but many fly in accessing either the Freeport International Airport or the government run Nassau International Airport. It's important to note that as of June, 2009, the U.S. government implemented the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI. These rules require most U.S. citizens entering or departing the Caribbean Islands by sea or air to have a passport, passport card or WHTI-compliant document.

Each village on Saba has several small and individually unique restaurants offering a wide variety to choose from – American, European, Chinese, Italian, and the delicious blend of Indonesian and West Indian Creole.
