For the visiting yachtsman or motor-yacht enthusiast, the holiday mecca of Freeport & Port Lucaya boasts wide tree-lined boulevards, elegant resorts, world-class shopping, superb beaches and a multitude of activities for everyone. This is particularly true for the sportsman and the nature lover. Golf courses and tennis courts abound on this 96 mile island in the stream. If your taste runs to the more adventurous, take a dive with the sharks or the dolphins.

Beautiful beaches and unspoilt pine forests; sleepy villages and catamaran cruises at sunset. You can experience it all on Grand Bahama Island. It is possible to travel by boat from the mainland to Freeport. There is a cruise-ship service from Fort Lauderdale that takes 2 1/2 hours and is pretty reasonable.

There are some great Casinos in Freeport and many people travel over for the weekend to gamble and have fun in the resorts. Port Lucaya has several good marina facilities for visiting yachts and you can re-provision easily.

Grand Bahama Island is also filled with natural wonders that make it a fascinating place to explore. If you head out on your own, be sure to take in the miles of exquisite beaches which line the southern shore. Spectacular Gold Rock beach is a favourite. Take time to visit some of the colourful smaller towns, or settlements as they are known, from West End and Eight Mile Rock to High Rock and McLean's Town, you'll think you're on one of our Out Islands when you pass the wood-framed buildings lining the sides of the roads.

Ultra-modern conveniences and Out island warmth; it's all here on Grand Bahama Island
