Grand Bahama Island's rambling, reef-protected shoreline and cays are filled with numerous
beaches. Most beaches are pristine and unbelievably white, with sand so fine it feels soft to the touch. The
beaches are often coupled with shallow, transparent water for hundreds of yards out to sea, rising gently to
sandbars before finally dropping into the depths.
