## Visit Gold Rock Beach

Activities

#### Find out why this pristine stretch of white sand is often referred to as the welcome mat of Grand Bahama Island.

Gold Rock Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches on Grand Bahama Island. At low tide, this secluded beach’s clear waters extend for almost 75 yards (70 meters) into the sea. Swim in the shallow waters, bring a picnic and eat while you enjoy the view or simply relax with the opportunity to escape the crowds.

The beach is located in Lucayan National Park, which is protected by the Bahamas National Trust. Follow the well-marked trail leading from the parking lot, which will take you on a short walk along a wooden boardwalk. After passing through a short stretch of mangrove swamp, this pretty trail opens up to reveal the beach. Across the street, north of the beach, you’ll find the famous Lucayan Caverns, one of the longest surveyed underground cave systems in the world.

Admire the beach’s beautiful appearance at low tide, when waves create a signature rippling effect in the sand which locals have nicknamed their “welcome mat.” Walk to the end of the beach to see where Disney filmed scenes for two *Pirates of the Caribbean* movies.

The beach is an ideal place for a picnic and is equipped with barbecue pits, picnic tables and benches. Be aware that there are no other amenities at the beach and very little shade. Come prepared with enough food, sunscreen and water to last the day. The sandy beach is barely visible during high tide, so you’ll have to time your visit carefully to enjoy the white sands at their best.

With shallow waters and a large sandbar, the beach is also a perfect spot for swimming. Bring snorkeling gear and swim or take a boat to Gold Rock Reef to check out its abundant marine life. Stretch out on the beach’s soft sands or walk along the tranquil shoreline and look for sea shells swept in by the waves.

Gold Rock Beach is located on East Grand Bahama Island, 20 miles (30 kilometers) from Freeport. It’s easiest to reach the beach by car or as part of an organized tour. To get here, follow the Grand Bahama Highway.

The exteriors were well maintained, the room in the other hand, poorly maintained. Also not having internet in the property in this era somehow inconvenience.

6.8/10 (1,003 reviews)

Out of five catamarans only two were in sailing condition. The pool table sags in the center. The air hockey table doesn’t work. There was no ball for fuss ball table. Despite being an all-inclusive resort, tip jars were everywhere. We were unable to get reservations at any à la carte restaurant all week; this is done via app. The buildings need cleaning and renovations. The beach is superb. The room was quiet except one night when neighbors were speaking loudly after midnight. The trapeze show was stunning. The buffet food was excellent. The staff was friendly. Checking in and out was easy. This was my third stay at Viva Fortuna. I will return if they update facilities and equipment.
