Why this trip
Freeport on Grand Bahama is often underrated as a stopover, yet some of the quietest nature in the Bahamas lies here. In the Lucayan National Park, paths lead through mangroves and caves to Golden Rock Beach, a beach you usually have to yourself. Boats travel through channels and bays, and rays glide through the water, which you watch from a safe distance with children. Bahamas Adventures and Creative Eco Adventures organise excursions by kayak or boat, without large groups.
Between November and April it is dry, the sun warms and the air cools pleasantly at night. The Sanctuary Bay Grand Bahama lies on the coast as a nature area and is suited to walks. Accommodations such as The Marlin at Taino Beach Resort & Clubs and the Viva Fortuna Beach by Wyndham lie right on the beach. Nassau, Harbour Island and Exuma are neighbours to consider, and anyone who plans a short stretch by boat will quickly see how different each island feels.
