About Grand
Bahama Island
Just 60 miles
off the coast of Florida, Grand Bahama's tropical breeze,
beautiful beaches and year-round perfect weather make it one
of the most popular getaways for vacationers. Grand Bahama
is 96 miles long and 17 miles wide. English is spoken with a
pleasant Bahamian lilt. U.S. dollars are equal to the
colorful Bahamian dollars and are exchanged freely on the
island.
Grand Bahama Island
gets its name from the Spanish "gran bajamar" --
meaning "great shallows" -- for its many flats and
shoals in the waters off the island.
Early in its history,
Grand Bahama Island was
virtually uninhabited for almost 300 years. However,
with the development of Freeport/Lucaya in the 1950s
by American financier Wallace Groves. In 1955 he
approached the Bahamian government with his idea to
build a town that catered to both industry and
tourists. Shortly afterwards, a famous document
known as the Hawksbill Creek Agreement was signed,
and Freeport was born. The result is a
community completely tailored to the getaway
tourist, a premeditated paradise offering almost
every kind of vacation activity imaginable.
Grand Bahama Island
is a unique destination, in that it allows visitors
to combine a cosmopolitan vacation at a world-class
resort with the charm of historical Bahamian
villages and undiscovered ecological treasures. It
has one of the world's largest underwater cave
systems, three national parks, endless beaches,
emerald green water and enchanting marine life.
