The islands of The Bahamas are a 100,000 square mile archipelago, which extends over 500 miles of the clearest water in the world. The country comprises over 700 islands including numerous uninhabited cays. Grand Bahama is the fourth largest and second most populated island in The Bahamas and is located only 65 miles east of Palm Beach, Florida.
With a new international airport with state of the art US pre-clearance facilities, traveling to Grand Bahama could not be easier. Scheduled air service is provided into many US cities including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, New York, Baltimore, Charlotte and Pittsburg. A daily ferry service also operates to Fort Lauderdale.
Approximately 52 miles from Miami, Florida, Grand Bahama is only a skip and jump away from the U.S.
