Nassau, the country’s capital, is a bustling town on New Providence Island with shops, nightclubs, glamorous casinos, and posh hotels. Even in Nassau, though, there are quiet byways and shady lanes where you can step away from the activity of the main tourist areas. Visitors have many options. They can pause in their shopping at any time to wander past old colonial buildings that are full of fascinating island history. Nights can be spent watching a perfect sunset, dining on elegant French or local cuisine in a hotel restaurant, and then taking in a show, dancing, or visiting one of the island’s casinos.

 

Grand Bahama Island lies just 50 miles east of Florida and is a major tourist destination.  And boast dozens of family resorts! The fourth largest island in the Bahamas group, Grand Bahama covers more than 530 square miles.  The island has four 18 hole golf courses, one 9 hole course, and more than 30 tennis courts.  Grand Bahama Island’s hotels and casinos are of a caliber that has earned them the title of “New World Riviera. The island of Grand Bahama stretches nearly one hundred miles from east to west, but is only 17 miles across at its widest point.

Grand Bahama Island is an ecological wonder with nature preserves and trails to explore.  Its endless beaches, charming fishing villages and fascinating marine life are just some of the island’s attractions that make this a tropical paradise and a unique vacation destination.
