On Grand Bahama Island, you will be greeted by miles of pristine white beaches. But that is just one of the attributes of our special island. Naturally, we have everything else you would expect from a tropical destination: a marvelous year-round climate, a host of water-oriented sports and activities, and a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. But what really sets us apart from every other island is our welcoming attitude. As soon as you arrive, you will know that Grand Bahamians are sincerely happy to see you. It shows, in every greeting and every smile. "So much so close", 52 minutes east of Miami, and a 2 1/2 hour flight from New York.
