Even at this time of year, that sweater you wear onto the plane can stay in your hotel room. Look for the “Weather” link on the left side of the page at Bahamas Guide for a glance at typical weather on the islands; the average daily high in March is 79 degrees.

Once you know what to expect, they also provide helpful “Travel Basics” that include “Clothing and Attire”; along with beach wear, consider taking a rain jacket.

Grand Bahama has the city of Freeport, and numerous hotels, resorts, shopping and golf courses. And you can always try glass-bottom boat tours, deep sea fishing and a tour of Ben’s Cave in Lucayan National Park.
