We did a day trip to this beach. The beach is so long. You can walk so far in the softest sand for the longest way. Also, you can walk out into the water a long way. We went during the low tide. We swam, hung out and had a really quiet time. Only saw a few other people. It... More

We have been going to this beach for fifteen years. Unfortunately, for us, others have found this treasure and it is busier now than ever. It is still wonderful though and a must see.

This is truly one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever visited in the world. It's secluded, and the setting is beautiful. The beach is lined by vegetation and trees, so make sure you bring mosquito spray when walking through this to get to the beach. When you first glimpse the beach through the forest life . . ....

One of the most beautiful beaches on the Island. Usually less than 30 people at the beach at any given time. The beach is 3/4 of a mile in each direction. It is narrow at high tide, however, stunning the rest of the time. A beautiful 10 minute stroll on a raised walkway through the Mangroves to get to the... More

This is the longest and loneliest beach on the Island. Miles of beautiful sugar sand and crystal clear water. No developments or people. If you are tempted to swim the canals to extend your beach walk, be aware of tidal currents.

If you are looking for the most spectacular and secluded beach in Grand Bahama, look no further. Gold Rock Beach in Lucayan National Park is worth the 25 drive from Port Lucaya, Freeport. Visit during low tide and experience the endless sand and clear blue waters of the caribbean! We spent 4 hours running along the beach, exploring the tide... More

We spent several hours at Gold Rock Beach as part of our cruise ship excursion to Lucayan National Park. I had no idea what to expect, and was blown away. I didn't want to leave, and certainly plan on going back one day. The boardwalk through the mangrove forest is beautiful. We even encountered a family of curious racoons, and... More

Worth the effort to get there. This is an amazing beach. Visit at low tide for maximum enjoyment but it is great anytime. Stunning.

It was about a 30 to 40 minute drive from downtown Freeport. Nothing for miles in either direction, which makes it somewhat private. There were a few groups of people around, but a short walk on the gorgeous beach would give you privacy. It would be wise to go during low tide, which would give you a little more beach... More

Nothing for miles in either direction. Wide, sandy beach good for walking , swimming, shelling, sunning. A bit far from the hotels so rent a car. The tour we were on gave us about 40 minutes - not enough time. No food or amenities.
