Ooh, that sugar sweet, you got what I need
Sipping on the potion, all that good emotion
Just my kind of heat, keep it on repeat
Tested by the potion, loving this devotion
Live it up, live it up, live it up, sweet emotion
Every time, every night, you and I on a roll
Switch it up, switch it up, switch it up where I'm going
Stay on the fly, just in time, know the right way to go
I'm on the road, it's my time, taking control of my life
I want to run the red lights, I've got to run this show
You always take me so high, you always make the highlights
I love the way we vibe, vibe, you're like a xanaphone
As you can see from this map, Freeport Grand Bahama is off the coast of the United States
In particular, off the coast of Florida
Welcome to Freeport Bahamas
On Grand Bahama Island
Alright, today we are in Freeport Grand Bahama Island
Off the Carnival Pride, one of our last stops
It's a short day, we're only here until 1 o'clock
But we're going to give you a tour of what's outside of the cruise ship terminal
All the straw markets and the shopping
There's a couple bars, restaurants
So stay tuned, we're going to give you a complete tour
Make sure you like and subscribe and click the notification bell
And do not miss any of these videos we're going to be doing in the Bahamas
Some great ports
Welcome to the straw market in Grand Bahama
Let's check it out
Also, if you're cruising into Grand Bahama Freeport
Make sure you get off the boat
And even if you just sit outside and have a cocktail
Or order some food and do some shopping
The Bohemian people are so nice
And they count on our tourist dollars
And look at this, this guy carves all of this
Such a talent
We don't answer to no more
Cool store
Any kind of hat you could want
Is that the port of Grand Bahama
Alright, also we've been to Grand Bahama 8 to 10 times probably
There is a lot of things to do here
We're going to show you some other things to do
That we've done here in the past
That's going to give you some great ideas
We'll start with number 1
In my opinion, when people ask me the best beach that we've ever been to
We've been to probably 100 beaches
There's only one that tops the list
And it's called Gold Rock Beach
And you can get there by cab
A lot of the tours take you there
They have a kayak tour there as well
That you get to go through the mangroves
And you get to stay there at Gold Rock Beach
But let me tell you
It's the most beautiful beach I have ever been to
They filmed part of the Pirates of the Caribbean there
The beach, how do you describe the beach?
I will tell you how beautiful it is
When we were here with our teenage kids
There's nothing there
There isn't even a chair to sit in
It's just untouched beach
And our kids didn't want to leave
That's how beautiful it was
It's really amazing to sit out there
It's just beautiful
And one thing you have to do
We would have been there this time
But you have to hit the tide right
Only go there if you're going to be there at low tide
High tide, it looks like any other beach
But when it's low tide
Maybe a foot to two feet of water
And you see the ripples
You're going to see that
I have some video of it
I'm going to be showing across the screen
And some photos
And the other thing too
It's not crowded
If you come here on a cruise
You're not here very long
And it takes a little over an hour to get out there
So a lot of people won't go
So you could literally be the only person
On that entire beach
Which makes it even nicer to be out there
But well worth the trip
Number one activity in my opinion
In Grand Bahama
Do not miss Gold Rock Beach
Also Gold Rock Beach
Is part of Lukaya National Park
If you go directly
Across the street
From the beach
You will find Ben's Caves
There's all kinds of caves you can go down and explore
Do not miss that
You're already there
Fresh drink and a coconut
Not much fresher than that
Here at Max's
And while there is plenty to shop
Here at the port
If you really want a little bit more shopping
A little bit more stores to choose from
You can hop in a cab
And go out to Port Lukaya Straw Market
There's some restaurants there
A couple of bars
A little bit more high end shops
So if you're looking for jewelry and things like that
You'll be able to find that there
And actually if you go there
Directly across the street
There's a path, it's a hidden path
That will take you right out to the beach
You can ask anybody where that path is
And it's a beautiful, it's a small beach
But if you're looking to do a beach
You know, you can add that into the market
Stop as well
Alright, right down here in the end
Is a really good place for like
Seafood stuff, conch fritters
That kind of thing
As you can see, they've got ice cream here
Alright, we went to these
The Krusty Krab for these
Conch fritters and they look amazing
And check out
This pina colada
That came from Max's
It's unbelievable
Round number two
My wife is going to try these conch fritters
We've had these here before in Grand Bahama
And
They are fabulous, fresh conch
You know it's coming right out of this water
How is it?
So good
Alright, we're going to chow down
Grab a cab, take a tour of the island
There's one lady
That we've used, her name is Queenie
I'm assuming she's still doing tours
I'm going to find out when I'm here today
But again, there's many different cab drivers
They're all willing to give you a tour
Of the island
Great wood carving place
If you're into that thing for souvenirs
Wow
Because I can't see
I can't see
Keep it this way, that camera is over there
Is it recording?
Hit the red button
What?
He didn't run the way I wanted him to
He's jumping all over the place
One of the other favorite things that we've done here
Many times is we did the
Beach for a day
We used to go to a place, it's called
Lighthouse Point
It was like $20 or $25
When we first came here
Now the way I understand it
Royal Caribbean bought that
Entire part of the island
But they still have the beach day
It's a little more expensive, it's $89
But let me tell you
When we were there, it is a beautiful beach
They have pools
Whirlpools
Yeah, you get use of the entire
Facility for the day
So their beach towels, their chairs, their pools
Their hot tubs, their restrooms
Their restaurants
It's still a nice day
If you want to hang out just at the beach
For the day while you're here
Look it up, besides Lighthouse Point
I'm sure there's many others
I think we did Sheraton here
I can't remember
But there's a couple that do it
Just google it
If you just google Day Pass at the hotels
In Freeport, you'll get your options
Again, there is so much more
Outside this port
Make sure you're checking everything at the port
There's shops
Everywhere
Didn't even hit half of them yet
And never, never
Never, never
Pay full price
Great shop right here
In Grand Bahama
Right off the dock
If you like shopping
Try this place out
This is it
For tomorrow we will survive
