Lucaya

On Grand Bahama's southern coast, Lucaya was developed after western neighbor Freeport as another resort center, this one on the beach and harbor. Colorful Port Lucaya Marketplace grew up along the safe harbor, known for its duty-free shops, bars, restaurants, straw market, and outdoor bandstand. This is also the home of UNEXSO, the island's famous diving and dolphin-encounter attraction. Surrounding the port are the island's biggest hotels: Grand Lucayan, Memories Beach and Casino Resort, and Pelican Bay.
