Largest Islands in the Bahamas

The Bahamas is an archipelago of more than 700 islands and cays. Because many of the major landmasses are actually clusters of islands separated by narrow tidal channels, rankings can vary depending on whether these networks are counted as single islands or split into their distinct geographic parts. For example Andros (North and South).
