For nature-lovers there are three national parks on Grand Bahama Island. Lucayan National Park is the only place in the Bahamas where visitors can see all six of the island's ecosystems. The Rand Nature Center is a 100-acre pineland sanctuary located 2 miles east of the center of Freeport. Features of the nature center include native animal displays and an education center. Peterson Cay National Park is one of the smallest National Parks in The Islands of The Bahamas. Shallow bars and coral reefs, especially west of the cay, make for excellent snorkeling and diving. Freeport-Lucaya
Freeport, capital of Grand Bahama Island, is one of the best-known destinations in the Bahamas. It is hard to beat for things to do, with its hotels, golf courses, and beaches near the town that offer just about every kind of water sport imaginable. Along with diving, windsurfing, parasailing, and other activities, here you can also interact with dolphins.
Freeport people are hospitable and kind, and the atmosphere is bustling with fun activities and plenty of shopping.
As far as tourists are concerned, Port Lucaya is the center of Grand Bahamas. The cruise ships dock here, the activity boats depart from here, and the night life is concentrated here for the most part in the Port Lucaya Marketplace. Several large hotels are also located in Port Lucaya. The Marketplace is perhaps the best shopping center on the island, with about 85 specialty stores and restaurants, not to mention the Straw Market.
