Grand Bahamas is the second most popular spot after Nassau/Paradise Island for beach wedding.
There are 2 types of beaches on the Bahamas islands namely - activity beaches and secluded beaches. However you would need to consult the Wedding & Honeymoon Unit to check if the beaches can be used for events. If you have engage a hotel or a wedding planner, they would do the check for you and thus save you the hassle of finding out the perfect beach spot. Depending on where you are going to house the guests, picking a beach which is accessible to them would help to save on the hassle to provide transport and save some money.
Though the secluded beaches are quieter and usually with less amenities, you would need to arrange for you own transportation to the beaches.Th e secluded beaches which you could consider are: - Mather Town Beach
Great beach for swimming and hanging out!
- Gold Rock Beach - beach protected by the National Trust. However there are limited amenities available at this beach.
"One of most beautiful, remote, private beaches I've seen. And one of the most romantic. The park guide was extremely helpful, informative and polite on our visit. A must see for any visit to Grand Bahamas!!!"
