Best islands for a workation.

Not for a short stay — most American visitors are waved through as tourists for up to eight months, at the immigration officer's discretion. That entry doesn't formally authorize earning income while you're here, though. If you want that covered on paper, the BEATS permit is built for it: apply online, show you work for or run a business based outside the Bahamas, and you're set for up to a year at a time, renewable to three.

Eastern Time — the same zone as New York, Miami, and Toronto — and it shifts to daylight saving on the same dates the US does. A meeting scheduled from home needs no adjustment.

No. The Bahamian dollar has been pegged 1:1 to the US dollar since 1966, and USD cash and cards work almost everywhere without conversion.

Nassau, by a clear margin — it's one of only two places in the country (Abaco is the other) with ALIVFibr, fiber advertised up to 1Gbps. The Family Islands lean more on cable and LTE, which is workable but noticeably less consistent, especially in bad weather.

In Nassau, yes — Incudesk runs a few locations around the island, and aeroSPACE Coworking is a smaller downtown option. Outside Nassau, plan on a café, a villa with a real desk, or your rental's own workspace rather than a dedicated one.
