Grand Bahama Vacations GRAND BAHAMA, THE BAHAMAS
A trip to Grand Bahama allows visitors to experience adventure, relaxation and cultural immersion. Here, guests can dive into the depths of the Bahamas’ world-renowned turquoise waters, swimming with dolphins and tropical fish amid vibrant coral reefs. They can also enjoy fishing, explore caves, indulge in an oceanfront massage, dance the night away in front of a beachfront bonfire or sail away on a sunset catamaran cruise. Situated just 55 miles off Florida’s coast,
Grand Bahama is a true oasis, with over 44 pristine beaches, a relaxed ambiance and natural wonders. It’s the ideal destination for families, honeymooners and adventurers eager to explore the ocean’s depths and anyone looking to immerse themselves in Bahamian culture. For an authentic experience, families should
visit the laid-back West End fishing community located on the western side of Grand Bahama. The area’s restaurants serve up regional dishes including whole fried Bahamian lobster, fluffy panny cakes and pickled conch salad. It’s an area
where local culture, music and culinary traditions come alive, offering a genuine taste of island life. Grand Bahama’s city centre is a hub of convenience and modern amenities, inclusive of shopping, restaurants, entertainment and world-class spas. Meanwhile, the eastern tip of the island reveals
an eco-wonderland, including one of the largest underwater cave systems in the world. There’s also spectacular sites like Ben’s Cave, Gold Rock Beach, the Coral Vita coral farm, the Garden of the Groves botanic garden and an inland blue hole called Owl’s Hole. For those interested in marine life, there are more than 30 dive sites featuring sharks, shipwrecks and intricate cave systems. When it comes to dining, Grand Bahama’s
culinary scene is colourful and diverse. With restaurants ranging from the historic Smith’s Point Fish Fry to upscale dining, the island caters to all tastes and budgets.
