World Travel Guide

Grand Bahama is located in the North of the Bahamas. Contrary to what the name suggest it's not the biggest island, that's Andros. The island is the home of Freeport, aka Lucaya, the second biggest city of the Bahamas. Freeport has a faster pace and a more cosmopolitan atmosphere than the old-world sophistication of Nassau.

Freeport is a sportsman's paradise, with many golf, tennis, scuba diving, pan handler dodging, and fishing facilities. The city was set up completely as a tourist resort. Forty years ago Freeport didn't exist; today, it's "a fantasy vacation made real on the shores of Grand Bahama".

We recently stayed at the Taino Beach Resort next store to the Ritz, and we enjoyed our stay immensly. Freeport is a great alternative to Nassau, having vacationed to both islands on several occasions. Freeport people are more hospitable and kind, the beaches are great and the two casinos and new resorts make for a lot of fun.
