Explore Grand Bahama

As I have mentioned before I have been traveling to Grand Bahama for over 15 years now. In that time I have been fortunate to spend quite a lot of time on the island and discover many parts of the island that few tourist get to see. It really is a shame as Grand Bahama has way more to offer than Port Lucaya and the International Bazaar. If you are planning a family vacation on Grand Bahama, I urge you to venture out you’re your resorts and explore the island. Mather Town and Fortune Beach are about a ten-minute drive from Port Lucaya. A few restaurants are on the seven-mile strip of beach. Banana Bay and Margaritaville are popular with locals. Margaritaville, located next to Club Caribe, is a little bar that changes identities constantly. Recognize it by its beachfront location, low prices and cheerfully dilapidated appearance. Club Fortuna Beach is an all-inclusive resort and occupies a large chunk of beachfront property between Margaritaville and Banana Bay. The West End and the East End of Grand Bahamas are both very secluded areas. What little tourism trade exists caters to nature lovers. Paradise Cove on the western tip offers some of the best snorkeling on the island, while if you take an East End Tour you will explore the underbrush and the open sea. Old Bahama Bay, on the West End, is a luxury hotel and golf course. The easternmost beach on the island, Gold Rock Beach, is also the island's most famous. With transparent aqua water that is shallow for about a mile and dusty-fine white sand, it's a breathtaking spot. The largest underground surveyed cave system in the world is located a bit north of Gold Rock Beach; the caves are popular with scuba divers the world over. So if you are planning one of Discovery Sun’s 2 or 3 night cruises do some research before you arrive on the island and make the most of your stay. Of course since you will be sailing with us you can always come and talk to me and I can help you make the most of your stay on this beautiful island.
