Grand Bahama is the fourth-largest island in the Bahamas, lying in the western Atlantic in the Caribbean region of North America. It is a place of beaches, golf and shopping, and many visitors come to it for a relaxed day or a longer stay built around the sea.
What the island offers
Much of the island's life centres on Freeport, its main town, which is known for duty-free shopping. Visitors who enjoy browsing for goods will find this a clear draw. The island also has golf courses, so it suits those who want a round in the sun between swims.
The beaches are among the island's main attractions. Days here can be spent on the sand, in the water, or on water sports, which are popular with many visitors.
Who it suits
Grand Bahama is a regular stop for cruise ships, so it works well for a shore visit during a longer voyage. Travellers who prefer to stay on the island will find that the beaches, golf and shopping give them enough to fill several days.
