Driving in San Salvador, Bahamas

- Some road scenes from various parts of San Salvador Island. Sweeping ocean views are everywhere. Here, we journey north on Queen's Highway, through Cockburn Town, and then up near the Gerace Research Centre. In the Bahamas, you drive on the left like in the UK, but many cars are US-style left-hand drive, as was the case with the Ford Focus we had rented. As an American driving an American car, it was fairly easy to get used to, but you'll want to be very careful at first if you're not used to it. Traffic is generally light, though, so don't let the opposite side of the road thing deter you from driving. If you are from the UK or Japan and rent a right-hand drive car, you'll feel right at home. I don't believe there are any major rental car firms on the island, but cars can be rented and I would recommend doing so to get around the island. I rented one from local tour guide and property manager Nat Walker. Also, to clarify, for safety's sake I didn't shoot any footage while driving... I had the passengers do it. This footage was shot in August 2015.
Thanks for posting. It gives me a good idea of the terrain and the beautiful water views.
Thank you for posting. Was the old naval base still there?
Rob Yes, the buildings are still there on the north shore of the island, but now they are used by the Gerace Research Centre. No longer affiliated with the Navy.
