Taino Beach

A Wide Stretch of Sand Near Freeport’s Shoreline

Not far from the hotels and markets of Freeport, Taino Beach offers one of Grand Bahama’s most accessible public shorelines. It’s known for its soft sand, relatively calm water, and a mix of locals and visitors sharing the same stretch of coast. With space to spread out and a casual atmosphere, it’s a beach that serves as both a gathering spot and a place to slow down.

A Long, Open Beach with Calm Waters

Taino Beach extends along the southern edge of the island, facing a shallow, generally calm part of the Atlantic. The sand is light-colored and soft, with plenty of room for walking or laying out—especially earlier in the day before it gets busier.

The water tends to stay shallow for a good distance from shore, making it a comfortable place for wading or swimming without strong currents. On calmer days, you’ll often see children playing in the shallows, locals launching kayaks, or small boats anchored just offshore.

There’s no dramatic reef drop-off or rocky terrain here—just a flat stretch of shoreline that’s easy to access.

Local Life and Nearby Amenities

Part of what gives Taino Beach its character is the mix of visitors. It’s popular among both tourists and locals, especially on weekends and holidays when families set up for the day with coolers, music, and folding chairs.

There are food stalls and small restaurants in the area—some serving local dishes like conch salad, grilled fish, or Bahamian mac and cheese. While options may vary depending on the day or time, there’s usually something nearby if you want a snack or drink without leaving the beach.

Facilities such as restrooms and picnic tables are available in the public beach area, though some may be connected to adjacent resorts or parks. Parking is free and relatively easy to find, particularly during the weekdays.
