About the flag

The flag of the Bahamas features three horizontal bands of aquamarine, gold, and black. The black equilateral triangle on the hoist side symbolizes the strength and determination of the Bahamian people, while the aquamarine represents the beautiful waters surrounding the islands, and the gold signifies the rich sandy beaches. Adopted in 1973 when the Bahamas gained independence from the UK, this flag reflects the nation's identity and heritage. To remember the flag, think of the Bahamas’ stunning tropical environment: the blue waters and golden sands, making it a top destination for vacationers. Associating the flag's colors with its natural beauty can help you easily recall that it belongs to this vibrant archipelago.
