"While visiting Marsh Harbour in the Bahamas, it's important to respect local customs and traditions. Avoid wearing revealing clothing unless you're at the beach, as it can be seen as disrespectful. Bahamians are generally very friendly and polite, so always remember to say "please" and "thank you". It's also considered rude to interrupt or raise your voice during a conversation. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics, religion, or racial issues, as these can be seen as disrespectful. It's also considered impolite to refuse an invitation to a local's home. If you're invited, it's customary to bring a small gift as a token of appreciation. Don't litter or damage the environment. The Bahamas is known for its beautiful natural scenery, and locals take great pride in preserving it. Lastly, remember that the Bahamas is a predominantly Christian country, so avoid doing anything that might be seen as disrespectful to the religion. This includes avoiding any disrespectful comments or actions during religious ceremonies or services," remarked another expat who made the move to Marsh Harbour, Bahamas.
