Lucayan National Park, situated on Grand Bahama, is a natural treasure offering diverse ecosystems and is best reached by rental car or tour bus from Freeport. Most areas, including the boardwalks and Gold Rock Beach, are easily accessible and can be explored independently, though guided tours are recommended for activities like cave diving in Ben's Cave. The park is open year-round, but visitors should be mindful of hurricane season (June-November) for potential weather disruptions. A small entrance fee, typically around $5-$10 USD per person, is usually required. Plan for a typical visit duration of 2-4 hours to thoroughly experience the renowned underwater cave systems, pristine beach, and mangrove trails. Don't forget insect repellent, water, and sunscreen for a comfortable visit.
