"When packing for a move to the Bahamas, consider packing items such as sunscreen, sunglasses, tropical-weather appropriate clothing, beachwear and a hat to protect against the strong sun, flip-flops or other comfortable shoes for beach days, insect repellent and mosquito netting to protect against the tropical bugs, and water bottles. Additionally, depending on what activities you plan on doing, consider packing accordingly; for instance, if planning to scuba dive, be sure to bring your diving gear. Finally, it is also a good idea to pack a few medicine items such as antihistamines and Tylenol in case of emergency," remarked another expat who made the move to Bahamas.
