Not much to do..the beach is about a 10 min walk from port. Next time I will go on an excursion

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

Absolutely nothing to do, but shop for unnecessary nonsense. You can go on an excursion.. but your only there for a couple of hours. When I go again I will stay on the ship
