Grand Bahama Beach Party





Grand Bahama Beach Party

Greetings!

It’s always good to get away from the daily grind so back to The Bahamas for me. I boarded Discovery Sun and looked through all of the Shore Excursions they offer and decided to do something I haven’t done in years….go to a beach party – a Bonfire Beach Party to be exact. I was picked up at my resort and taken to a place called Outriggers on Taino Beach. It was great. They had the wood stacked up looking like a teepee. Unlimited Bahama Mamas were served. Activities were a nice selection of games such as relay races on the beach and a hat game were they play music and you pass the hat around from your head to your neighbors’ and whoever gets stuck with the hat in their hand when the music stops is out of the game (kind of like musical chairs with a hat instead of a chair). The winners get a bottle of rum. Everyone was participating and it was quite funny to say the least as well as a great way to make new friends. We all watched a beautiful sunset from lounge chairs and picnic tables. Some people walked on the beach and others took a dip in the ocean. When the sun went down the bonfire was lit and it was very warm and beautiful. Dinner consisted of a very tasty buffet of: bread, ribs, peas & rice, chicken and corn. Afterwards was a limbo contest, dancing, a fire eater performance and more and more dancing. Did I mention the beautiful full moon? It was another wonderful evening in Grand Bahama.
