e Spanish gave the island the name Gran Bajamar, meaning "Great Shallows", and
what the eventual name of the Bahamas
islands as a whole is derived from. Grand
Bahama Island, the second most visited
island in the Bahamas, will enchant you with
a mix of historic charm, modern attractions
and ecological wonders.
The island is a paradise for eco tourists.
It has one of the world's largest underwater
cave systems, three national parks, endless
beaches and crisp blue water with enchanting
marine life. Many water sports can be
practiced on them such as diving,
snorkelling, boating or kayaking. For a more
cultural tour visit the charming colonial
villages that can be found all over the
island, such as Freeport, Lucaya and West
End.
