Long Island has never looked so spectacularly blue

Outside of the name they share, Long Island, NY, USA, is nothing like Long Island, The Bahamas. However, Siri, Alexa, Google and pretty much every search engine always mixes them up. If you want to research Long Island for a vacation to the Bahamas, be sure to input the proper qualifiers: Long Island, The Bahamas. And when in doubt, one comparative look at the beaches in the two Long islands, will clear the confusion up. The spectacular difference between their beaches is evidence enough that Long Island, the Bahamas is not your ordinary beach destination.  

The beaches in the Hamptons are certainly beautiful. However, once you’ve visited Long Island, The Bahamas, you’ll understand why Bahamians and repeat visitors to the Bahamas tend to be discerning beach snobs. Few other destinations can compare when it comes to beaches: Perhaps only the far flung Greek Isles and Pacific Islands.

In our biased opinion, Long Island, The Bahamas has the most beautiful beaches. However, when it comes to choosing the best beach for you that depends on what you’re looking for. Bahamian beaches are not like beach towns in the USA. In the Bahamas:

1. There is no major surfing on Long Island’s beaches.
2. There are no crowds on a Long Island beach, so it's probably not the best place for meeting new people. Enough privacy to literally have sex on the beach: yes, you'll probably find that. 
3. In shoulder deep in water you can clearly see your toes beneath the transparent water. Long Island's beaches are definitely places for swimming. 
4. No commercial amenities on Long Island's beaches. Bring what you need to the beach in Long Island, because you can’t walk down the boardwalk to a café or rent a kayak from a beachfront vendor.
