Grand Bahama is filled with attractions to do by day. There are miles of white, sandy beaches, that are rarely found anywhere else. The water is crystal clear, and if you enjoy water activities, The Bahamas is the place for you. Water-skiing, windsurfing, sailing, jetskiing, parasailing, diving, swimming with the dolphins, kayaking, and snorkling can all be found. If you prefer the land a bit more, horseback riding, exploring natural limestone caves, visiting a natural flamingo breeding area, and walking or riding through nature trails are all available as well. And of course, if you get tired, just lay out on the beach and catch some sun!
