How do I meet people in Bahamas?
When we asked people living in Bahamas about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Expats living in the Bahamas often join a variety of clubs and activities, such as sailing, diving, golfing, fishing, and tennis. There are also many popular expat hangouts, such as restaurants, bars, and cafes. Expats can also meet people by attending expat get-togethers and events, volunteering, attending sports leagues, or joining a church or other religious organization. Additionally, many neighborhoods in the Bahamas have their own ways of bringing locals and expats together, such as block parties, festivals, and other celebrations," remarked another expat who made the move to Bahamas.
"There is a large expat community in New Providence so it is easy to find others with the same interests as you. We have met most of our friends through the school which our children attend but there are also women's clubs, a Foodie group, running clubs, rugby leagues, a ball hockey league, sailing groups a kiwi club, a humane society that you can volunteer at and all other kinds of clubs and organizations. In addition you can find groups on Facebook of people living here on the island. There are also club houses on the island that you can purchase memberships at and meet people through as well, these tend to be more expensive then the cost of a similar club in North America," explained one expat living in New Providence, Bahamas.
