Freeport, located on Grand Bahama Island in the northern part of the Bahamas archipelago, is the country's second-largest city after the capital, Nassau, and an important free port and economic center. The city, planned and established by American entrepreneur Waldo Hamilton in the 1950s, has developed into a diversified economy integrating industry, tourism and logistics, relying on a deep-water harbor and free trade zone policies. With a long stretch of golden coastline, Freeport is known for its crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches and rich marine ecology, making it a popular destination for diving, snorkeling and water sports enthusiasts. Its iconic locations such as Lucaya Beach and the International Bazaar Bazaar showcase the luxury of a modern resort while retaining the cultural charm of the Caribbean. As a key window to the Bahamas' openness to the outside world, Freeport's blend of commercial vibrancy and natural beauty attracts tourists and investors from around the globe.
