The Bahamas
For the Warm & Wet Season (May-November), pack lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton, linen, and moisture-wicking synthetics. Shorts, t-shirts, sundresses, and Swimsuits are suitable. A Light rain jacket or a Compact umbrella is advisable for sudden, brief showers. Humidity means clothes take longer to dry. Pack enough changes of clothes.
Modesty is appreciated outside of beach and resort areas. Cover up swimsuits when visiting towns, restaurants, or religious sites. Opt for casual but respectful attire.
