Grand Bahama Island Beach Travel Tips

By Linda Samuel

  • Catch Gold Rock Beach at low tide. Receding waters reveal an expanse of rippled sand, dubbed the "welcome mat."
  • Do the tourist thing and shop at Xanadu Beach. Food, drinks, and souvenirs line the streets and watersports are easily accessible.
  • Get comfy or romantic—accommodations range from small budget hotels to large luxury resorts that cater to couples and families.

Grand Bahama Travel Guide

Fabulous beaches and relatively affordable prices continue to make Grand Bahama Island a year-round destination. Weather also enhances its continued popularity. Even though the island sits in the Atlantic Ocean, the forever-warm waters of the Gulf Stream make the beaches, particularly at the western tip, desirable even in winter. The Little Bahama Bank protects the island from the storms that roar in from the northeast. Grand Bahama Island is also convenient to reach, lying only 81km (50 miles) east of Palm Beach, Florida.
