PID is a code associated with Paradise Island, a small resort island in the Bahamas, just off the coast of the capital, Nassau, on New Providence Island. Connected to Nassau by bridges, Paradise Island is one of the best-known holiday spots in the Bahamas, famous for its beautiful white-sand beaches, turquoise water and large resort complexes, most notably the sprawling Atlantis resort with its water park, marine habitats and casino. The island offers beaches such as Cabbage Beach, watersports, golf and a lively resort scene, and it is an easy step from the shops, forts and colonial streets of Nassau. Most travelers arrive via Nassau's Lynden Pindling International Airport on New Providence, then cross to Paradise Island by road, rather than through any airport on the island itself. The climate is warm and tropical, with a sunny dry season and a hurricane season later in the year.
