Freeport, Port city in Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas
Located 108 kilometers from Palm Beach, Florida, Freeport features numerous marine activities, international businesses, and extensive shopping districts along its coastal area.
Wallace Groves established Freeport in 1955 through the Hawksbill Creek Agreement, which created a tax-free zone to promote economic development in Grand Bahama Island.
The Port Lucaya Marketplace stands as a central destination where visitors experience Bahamian music performances, local crafts, and traditional conch dishes.
The Grand Bahama Port Authority manages the free trade zone, offering tax benefits to businesses until 2054 and maintaining the city's infrastructure.
