Freeport is a resort-residential area, located on Grand Bahama Island. England ruled the Bahamas until the late 1700s when Spain captured the islands. They were returned to England in 1783 and became independent from England in 1973. There are many things to do in the islands. Golf is popular with several excellent courses.
Many people participate in scuba diving, sailing, water skiing, wind surfing and other water sports.
The Bahamas are very nice. The weather is balmy and pleasant, and the islands are very accessible via airline and cruise ships. Other smaller boats go out to the islands for day trips. I hope you can visit the islands sometime.
