Freeport (Grand Bahama)

Flights & Beds

Description:
Grand Bahama is the home of Freeport/Lucaya, the nation's second city, with a faster pace and a more cosmopolitan atmosphere than the old-world sophistication of Nassau.

The largest town in the Bahamas, Freeport in many ways represents the post-WWII rebirth of the islands that has been spurred by tourism. Before the rise of tourism, in fact, the town did not exist. It was created expressly for the pleasure of vacationers, and much of its development was the brain-child of a single man, an American from Virginia named Wallace Groves. True to his vision, Freeport offers just about every type of vacation activity imaginable. There are two casinos, dozens of bars and restaurants, and facilities where you can charter fishing boats or rent jet skis and scuba gear. The town is the embodiment of adrenalized, tropical entertainment.

Freeport/Lucaya is a sportsman's paradise, with championship golf, tennis, scuba diving, and fishing. In fact, it was designed especially for your pleasure. Forty years ago Freeport/Lucaya didn't exist; today, it's a fantasy vacation made real on the shores of Grand Bahama.
