Beautiful beaches of Grand Bahama

Soft sandy beaches, warm turquoise waters, the sound of waves splashing on the shore & palm trees gently swaying in the breeze – this is intrinsically soothing. If this is true, Grand Bahama is then the ultimate in relaxation. In the Freeport/Lucaya area alone, there is 17 miles of beach.

From all parts of the world, vacationers set off to find a tropical haven in the Caribbean where they can unwind, slip into the slower pace of island life, do a little fishing, diving, tanning, shopping, dinning, or partying. All in an effort to regain their sanity. Grand Bahama offer this all on an island only 56 miles from Florida.

Great Tours in Grand Bahama

After talking to guest over the years it is agreed that these are some of the best activities on Grand Bahama. I have personally done all of these activities and they have often exceeded my expectations. Since I am not a very good swimmer or athletic I was pleasantly surprised that they weren't as difficult as I expected them to be. Try them for yourself and then leave a review to benefit other visitors of the Bahamas. (by Diane Kemp)
