Things to Do On Grand Bahamas
Grand Bahama Island is an environment that offers a
superb mild and sunny climate; miles of deserted white sandy beaches; exceptional underwater diving; championship golf courses; national parks, cultural events, shipping facilities, restaurants, health care and much more. Unique among the established industrial areas in the Bahamas, indeed in the entire Caribbean, Freeport is clean, well planned, has a modern and reliable infrastructure with no pollution and no traffic congestion. Almost every destination in Freeport involves a journey of less than 15 minutes along
major uncongested highways.
The Gulf Stream flowing northerly between Grand Bahama and the eastern seaboard of the US provides warm waters throughout the winter months & offshore southeasterly breezes cool the island during the summer. Relative humidity averages 75% annually.
The rainy season extends from June through September with most of the precipitation occurring during brief summer showers. The hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th when the tranquility of the island may be interrupted occasionally by the threat of a tropical storm or hurricane. However, such occurrences are few.

The country has an extremely stable economic and political climate ,excellent communication facilities, good transportation facilities, US Immigration and Customs preclearance facilities and close proximity to the US mainland allow Freeport to offer unparallel advantages.

Freeport offers unparalleled advantages. A warm topical Caribbean
island makes Freeport/Lucaya unique in the world today.

The Hawksbill Creek Agreement guarantees freedom from taxes until 2015 and from excise
taxes, stamp duties and most customs duties until 2054.
