Grand Bahama Island, just one of the 700 islands that comprise the Bahamas, is home to Freeport.  This northernmost island in the chain, is approximately 60 miles southeast of the coast of Florida.  Freeport is almost completely Americanized, and other than the mega-casinos, there is little to distinguish it from its neighbor, Florida.  You will find stretches of white powdery sand, mega-resorts lining the coastline, and expensive yachts bobbing in the harbor.

Freeport enjoys a subtropical climate with mild winters, seldom dipping below 60°F.  Average temperatures range in the low to upper 80’s; with water temperature never below 72°. With that said, however, just like Florida, these are averages and during winter months be prepared for an occasional cold front to cause drastic temperature drops.
