Freeport, Grand Bahamas

cleung · April 13, 2005

I've been to Freeport before and if you are not into beach or shopping, then there's not much else. But then again, many ports in the Caribbean are like that too. I'm actually going back specifically to Freeport this summer. Why? Because it's actually a great place to scuba dive. Freeport is the only spot in the world where you can scuba dive with dolphins who will interact with you while under water. Scuba divers can also dive with sharks there. If you don't scuba, there might be some good snorkelling areas. Freeport is a known location for scuba divers.

Clint, Thanks for the info. I am not a scuba diver but I have one question - Why would you want to 'scuba with sharks'?

I absolutely love Freeport. We stayed at the Sheraton Lucaya, and enjoyed the beach facilities. Right across the street is the Lucaya Marketplace, with nice shops and many wonderful restaurants. Even an Irish pub and a deli. At 9pm there is a free show with music and dance performers in the Count Basie square. The International Bazaar near the Casino in Freeport proper is okay, but Lucaya is better. There are restaurant/beach bars on the beach east of Lucaya that the locals use. See http://thebahamasguide.com/sandbar/ and [url=http://thebahamasguide.com/clubcaribe/]http://thebahamasguide.com/clubcaribe/

For a good general description of the many features see [url=http://www.grand-bahama.com/]http://www.grand-bahama.com/

We loved Paradise Cove and snorkeling in shallow water to Deadman's Reef. I found myself swimming with a sting ray and say barricuda.

Remember, Freeport is just the commercial city on Grand Bahama Island. The island has much more to offer than Freeport. The ships dock in the commercial/industrial port. Take a taxi to Port Lucaya Marketplace. Use the facilities of the Sheraton and Westin. Rent a car and see the ecological areas and the national park.

Frankly, we like it better than Nassau.
