Freeport, Port city in Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas
Freeport is a port city on Grand Bahama Island, about 110 kilometers from the Florida coast. The settlement stretches along the southern shore of the island and includes commercial zones, residential areas, and several marinas.
Wallace Groves founded the city in 1955 following the Hawksbill Creek Agreement, which created a tax-free zone. The agreement attracted international companies and drove development on Grand Bahama.
The Port Lucaya Marketplace brings together shops, restaurants, and open-air stages where Bahamian bands often perform. Visitors can see basketwork and shell jewelry made by local artisans there.
Most shops and restaurants are in the Port Lucaya area on the southern coast, where the main docking facilities for boats are also located. Vehicles drive on the right, and taxis run between key points in the city.
Lucayan National Park protects one of the longest underwater limestone cave systems on Earth. The passages connect different habitats from forest to coastal shore.
