Lucayan National Park
Roger and David walking to the Beach
Ben's CaveI have been to Freeport Twice. Once you dock, you either have to rent a car or take a taxi. There is nothing at the port. The first time we took a taxi to the main part of town, did a little shopping and played on the beach. It was okay.
The second time, we did a little more research and found a place called Lucayan National Park. It was quite aways from the ship so we decided to rent a car. It is always good to travel with someone so we could share the expense. The are was bout $100 for the day but we were able to split it. The rental company picked us up from the port and took us to our car. We drove about 45 minutes out to the Park. The first thing we saw were the bat caves. They are closed at time when the bats are in them.
We then took a little hike to get to the beach. It was a trail about a mile long through pine trees, mangrove swamps and caves which opened up onto to the most beautiful beach. Not many people there since you really had to know about it before you left. Water was crystal clear and warm! We stayed there for a few hours and then headed back. We ate at the local burger king before getting back on the ship.
A funny note--in Freeport they drive on the opposite side so it took all of us to keep our car on track! Be prepared for that if you rent a car!
