How to make friends in the Bahamas

I think the important thing is to treat everyone with a lot of respect.  Many people just look at the Bahamians as though their sole purpose is to cater to you.  that is no always the case and not everyone is in the tourist industry.

Let's start with a universal language- RESPECT

And smiles are always great too

Making friends in The Bahamas is easier than anywhere else in the world (and I can say that as I've lived abroad, travelled fairly extensively, and am Bahamian); literally, all you have to do is be there and you will make friends.  Bahamians are naturally curious and will speak to you before you get a chance to speak to them.  We want to know all about you and are an extremely friendly race of people.
So, after you're all settled in, visit you nearest watering hole, have a drink, and smile.  The bartender will talk to you, the guy sitting next to you will talk to you, people at the table in the farthest corner will come and talk to you.  Unlike anywhere else I've encountered, there is no need for an expat forum or prior knowledge of others to make friends.  The Bahamians and other expats will have heard about you before you even meet them (small country, fast network) and will welcome you with open arms.
They will give you lots of necessary advice on how to get a better job or raise, find a girl/boyfriend/husband/wife, how to navigate the country, where to go for the best food/housewares/furniture/auto/cellular service, how the bill systems work, or any other questions that will pop up.
The trick you should be asking about is how to keep friends in The Bahamas.  As Princesstwo said, RESPECT!  Don't gossip, don't bully, and don't try to undermine anyone - everyone will know and you will be ostracized.  Treat others as you would like to be treated; don't and suffer the consequences.

Well making friends depends on person to person. If you are more talkative with people you can easily make friendship to anyone. Shy people found less friends in their life.

Hi Arnaud,
Just wondering if you are still in the Bahamas?

hi soraya
     i'm arjun from nepal already i live in Mauritius it's beautiful country. next month i'll come bahamas so that i want make friend with u .plz reply me

If you will come to the Bahamas for vacation  good. If you  come to the Bahamas for try to stay well let me give to u my opinion about  that: I have been in the Bahamas for 1 years and believe me its not a country to live, in particular Grand Bahama is the worst island of all Bahamas and its hard for me to consider Grand Bahama as part of Bahamas too. Believe me . Then you are welcome my friend

Hello Greetings to you!

Hello hi how are u doin hope all is well am Nicole I just joined this site I am lookin. For a honest true friend

its easy to make friends, its hard to keep them LOL

the easier way to make friends with locals is to be polite, smiling, chillaxed and open in communication people are very easy going in the islands, they each one of them greet when they even get in the bus and getting off the bus.


Everyone is religious, Bahamians are big into churches and a lot of Baptists churches so don't take the lord in vain, its a no no, watch your swearing,

attending church on Sunday is 2 thumbs up for making friends

I want too make friend in Bahamas. Because I like the country very much

Can I talk with you here

Happy to meet new people and make some friends. I am staying on the Love Beach Colony / Bahamas 🇧🇸
