TRAVEL TIPS    

Location: Grand Bahama Island is located 52 miles east of Palm Beach, Florida. The Island is 96 miles long and 17 miles across at its widest point. From the twin resort areas of Freeport & Lucaya you're always within a few minutes drive of most points of interest.

English is the native language. However it is spoken with a playful Bahamian lilt.

The Bahamian dollar is on par with the US dollar. US currency is widely accepted throughout the island.

The Bahamas are considered sub-tropical with temperatures in the high 70's Fahrenheit in the winter months to temperatures in the mid 80's during the summer months.

Travel Documents: To enter Grand Bahama Island, citizens of the US and Canada are required to show proof of citizenship with either a passport or a certified copy of their birth certificate and photo identification.

Departure Tax: Every person except 6 or younger must pay a departure tax upon leaving the Island. $18 per person at the airport or $15 per person at the Harbour.
