Are you ready to visit Freeport in the Bahamas?

Some parks worth checking out are the Rand Nature Centra (actually a slightly offshore island park), and the Lucayan National Park is here as well. There are also some ocean blue holes on this island. They might not be as impressive as some of what you find on Eleuthera, but they are definitely worth seeing! There is some great local food on the island of Grand Bahama. Getting outside of Freeport can offer the opportunity for some great local fried conch as well as many other local dishes. Don’t forget to wash it down with a local Bahamian beer. They have those!

There are many hotels on the island. Most are located along the southern shore and face the Northwest Providence Channel. There are also homes to rent and smaller hotels, but the southern shore will provide the most options.

Grand Bahama Port Authority is a private company that runs Freeport under special contract with the Bahamas’ government at least until the contract is up for renewal in August 2054. It has been under private contract since 1955.
