Weddings: Bahamas
Overview:
Grand Bahama
Island is located only 50
miles off the shore of Florida, and is a short flight from anywhere on
the east coast. This island boasts modern hotels, nightlife, golf, watersports, and casinos. Although there is much activity on the island,
it is also possible to relax on its many miles of beaches.
Located on New Providence Island in the Bahamas, the city of
Nassau
and adjacent Paradise Island
are the places to go for all the modern conveniences and lots to do.
Even better, it's an easy flight from the northeast US meaning you'll
spend lest time flying and more time on the beach! Whatever your taste,
its all here, from snorkeling and water sports to duty-free shopping and
casino gambling. The beaches are glorious, too, so you'll have ample
opportunity to enjoy sun, sand and surf
