Grand Bahama Island, the fourth largest in the Bahamas, gets its name from the Spanish
"gran bajamar" – meaning "great shallows" as its has many flats
and shoals in the waters off the island.
The island is 96 miles, rimmed with cities, villages, and cays that offer lasting
evidence of the many different people and cultures that have called Grand Bahama
Island home.
Early in its history, Grand Bahama Island was virtually uninhabited for almost 300
years. However, with the development of Freeport/Lucaya in the 1950s, and because
of the island’s location just 55 miles from the east coast of Florida, it is now
one of the most visited of all the Bahamian islands.
Grand Bahama Island is a unique destination. It allows visitors to combine a cosmopolitan
vacation at a world-class resort with the charm of historical fishing 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.
