Nassau is the capital and largest city of the Bahamas, an island nation in the Atlantic Ocean north of Cuba and southeast of Florida, home to approximately 280,000 residents. It operates on Eastern Time (EST/EDT), the same as New York. Nassau sits on New Providence Island and is the Bahamas' political, economic, and cultural centre. The Bahamas gained independence from Britain in 1973 and is now a prosperous Caribbean nation with one of the highest per-capita incomes in the Americas, driven by tourism (50%+ of GDP) and financial services. Paradise Island, connected to Nassau by a bridge, hosts Atlantis Paradise Island — one of the world's largest resort complexes. The Bahamas is famous for its extraordinary clear turquoise waters — its Bank Underwater National Park and the underwater blue holes (deep vertical caves) are world-renowned diving destinations. Nassau is also an important financial centre and tax haven, home to hundreds of offshore banks and holding companies. Christopher Columbus made his first landfall in the Americas on a Bahamian island (San Salvador) in 1492.
