Facing Florida, Grand Bahama asserts its identity under the Caribbean sun. A look back at my week on this dream island!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

The Bahamas<\/strong> is above all a unique archipelago, with subtle variations in blues and greens, stretching over 250,000 km2 between the coasts of Florida and Cuba. It’s a region of 16 destinations, comprising 700 islands, each with its own distinctive character. Their names alone conjure up images of paradise: crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches under the tropical sun, small islets and coral reefs. At least that’s how I pictured it! But why come to the Bahamas? simply for its tranquility, long deserted beaches, local festivities and ideal year-round weather conditions.

Nassau<\/strong>, Paradise Island<\/strong> and Grand Bahama Island<\/strong> are the main islands of the Bahamas, but there are hundreds more to explore (see below)! They are ideal for nature lovers and offer unspoilt beauty: pristine beaches, coral gardens and authentic villages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"I invite you to discover Grand Bahama<\/strong>, the Bahamian island just a 30-minute flight from the Florida coast. It offers a marked contrast between the modern infrastructure of Freeport and Port Lucaya, with their wide, American-style avenues, and the unspoilt nature of 5 national parks. 150km long and 25km wide, its short vegetation is astonishing, with several hundred maritime pines planted everywhere. The soil is mainly sand and limestone, so we find a fairly classic culture and many things are imported. The mangrove swamps are very present, creating a natural barrier against rising waters and hurricanes. As the island borders the world’s third longest barrier reef, Grand Bahama<\/strong> serves as a nursery for fish and sharks. A forerunner in the field of ecology and a veritable cradle of ecotourism, the Bahamas archipelago offers a genuine eco-awareness program and creates eco-friendly accommodations focused on the well-being of the planet. Not everything on Grand Bahama is perfect, but the desire to improve and preserve this place is there, and you can feel it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For a week, we were able to take part in a wide range of activities every day from our hotel: water sports, shark watching, kayaking, walks, lounging on the beaches… There really is a wide choice of nature outings to suit all tastes and desires!
