Gold Rock Beach, Grand Bahama

Gold Rock Beach is one of Grand Bahama Island's most gorgeous beaches. The pristine waters of this quiet beach reach over 75 yards (70 meters) into the sea at low tide. Swim in the shallow waters, bring a picnic and eat while taking in the scenery, or simply relax while avoiding the crowds. This beach is located within the Lucayan National Park on Grand Bahama Island and is by far the most beautiful beach on the island. You'll be rewarded with lovely sand and blue sea if you access the beach through a boardwalk that crosses a marshy region. A refreshing plunge in the lake here is a pleasant treat after a hot journey through the tropical park.

Tourists can witness the beach’s beautiful appearance at low tide when waves create a signature rippling effect in the sand which locals have nicknamed their “welcome mat”. Additionally, you can walk to the end of the beach to see where Disney filmed scenes for two Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

The beach is an ideal place for a picnic and is equipped with barbecue pits, picnic tables, and benches. Be aware that there are no other amenities at the beach and very little shade. Come prepared with enough food, sunscreen, and water to last the day.
