Pelican Point

by Admin 3/9/2009 5:12:00 PM

This weekend I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon with a lady by the name of "Smiling Pat" and our Discovery Cruise Director, Samantha Penny. We had a fantastic day! We were picked up from the pier and driven all the way out to the native village of Pelican Point - there are less than 40 people that inhabit this beautiful village and, until 20 years ago, the only way to get there was by dirt road. The locals were so freindly and hospitable! We even learned how to weave straw baskets! The misister's wife cooked us a lunch, which consisted of peas and rice and the BEST lobster I have ever tasted!!!!!

There are also beach villas avaialable for rent, right on the beach - we only wished that we could have spent more time there:

So if you want a real native get-away off the beacon track that no-one has yet discovered - this is the place to go!

Here are some pictures:

About the author

This is a personal weblog. The views and opinions expressed here represent my own (and those of some of the commentators that I have included) and not those of Discovery Cruise Line or Discovery Management. I have worked in the cruise industry since joining Carnival Cruise Line in 1990 as a member of the cruise staff team. I joined the Discovery Cruise Line family in 1996, sailing daily to Grand Bahama Island as Shore Excursion Manager. I was promoted to the position of Cruise Director in 1999 and continued to sail daily to Grand Bahama Island until 2003, when I began working in the Miami office as Entertainment & Communications Manager. I still continue to sail to Grand Bahama at least one day per week. The purpose of this blog is to share tips and information about Grand Bahama in the I hope that it will be useful in helping visitors make the best of their travel plans from both my own and other bloggers' experiences.
