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
  • Modern electronics with 100-240V support work safely on Bahamas's 120V power - check your charger's label
  • Traffic drives on the left in Bahamas - look right first when crossing streets
  • Stick to bottled or filtered water in Bahamas - tap water isn't recommended for drinking
