In 1955, Wallace Groves , a Virginian financier, designed and built Freeport/Lucaya, the second most
populated city in the Islands of The Bahamas.

parasailing, Dolphin education and interaction and other activities.
Duty free shopping at the International Bazaar and Port Lucaya Marketplace.
Fine and casual dining.
World class golf.
Exciting nightlife and casino excitement.
For those looking for tranquility, Freeport has many isolated beaches that you can easily get away to
for peace and quiet, or you can take a stroll in Freeport's botanical garden the Garden of the Groves.
Natural attractions are the islands finest assets.
Three national parks on Grand Bahama Island offer room for exploration and adventure. Lucayan National Park, the star of the triad,
is the only place in the Bahamas where visitors can see all six of the island's ecosystems - a collection
of plants and wildlife that offers an unparalleled view into the complex interaction of native land and sea.
Also within the park is one of the world's longest underwater cave systems - a sprawling network of tunnels
resulting from the island's unique limestone geology.
Kayaking, swimming, walking, hiking and birdwatching ar some of the activities offered.
The Rand Nature Centre, with its resident flamingo colony, and reef-enveloped Peterson Cay National
Park are equally thrilling in their beauty.
Both the Lucayan National Park and Rand Memorial Nature Center are easily accessible, but Peterson Cay can
only be reached by boat.
