Gold Rock Beach, Grand Bahama Island

Located within Lucayan National Park, Gold Rock Beach is a stunning long stretch of white sand surrounded by important protected natural habitats. Gold Rock Beach is located on Grand Bahama Island and is arguably the best beach on the island and certainly the most natural. It is just 40 miles from Freeport, and this beach feels like its own quiet slice of paradise.

The National Park has various trails to explore, with multiple habitats, including mangrove and pine forests. The Park also protects a vast underground cave system, several of which are visible when walking through the park.

Gold Rock Beach has beautiful soft white sand and clear waters great for swimming. It also stretches on for miles, making it a great beach to walk along and forget about your worries. It is best to go to the beach when the tide is going out, as the narrow beach grows larger instead of shrinking.
