Complete Guide to Power Plugs in Bahamas
Bahamas uses Type A and Type B power plugs and electrical outlets. The standard voltage is 120V with a frequency of 60Hz. This is similar to North American standards, making it easier for US and Canadian travelers.
Do You Need a Travel Adapter for Bahamas?
Bahamas uses plug types that may be compatible with your devices, but we still recommend carrying a universal travel adapter for convenience.
Voltage Converter vs. Plug Adapter
It's important to understand the difference: a plug adapter only changes the physical shape of your plug to fit Bahamas's outlets, while a voltage converter actually changes the electrical current. Bahamas's 120V is compatible with most devices.
Tips for Travelers to Bahamas
- US-style plugs fit Bahamas's outlets, but a universal adapter is still handy for versatility
