Family Overview: Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas

By Candyce H. Stapen

Grand Bahama Island, 60 miles off the coast of Florida, is the second most popular tourist destination in the Bahamas, with the Nassau/Paradise Island area receiving the most visitors. Many of the island's casinos and hotels are clustered in Freeport and on Lucaya's waterfront. Unlike the Nassau/Paradise Island area, Grand Bahama Island has undeveloped stretches, including the Lucayan National Park. Families looking for laid back vacations geared toward scuba or snorkeling should also consider the Out Islands of the Bahamas, also known as the “Family Islands.” Top destinations include Exuma and Andros.
