This 16-hectare (40-acre) park, filled with mangrove, pine, and palm trees, contains one of the loveliest, most secluded beaches on Grand Bahama, a long, wide, dune-covered stretch of sandy beach that you'll reach by following a wooden path winding through the trees. There's a coral reef offshore; bring your snorkeling gear along so you can glimpse the colorful creatures that live beneath these turquoise waters. As you wander through the park, you'll cross Gold Rock Creek, fed by a spring from what is said to be the world's largest underground freshwater cavern system. Two of the caves can be seen, because they were exposed when a portion of ground collapsed. The pools in the caves are composed of 2m (6 ft.) of freshwater atop a heavier layer of saltwater. Spiral wooden steps have been built down to the pools, and there are 36,000 passages in the cavern system.

The freshwater springs once lured native Lucayans, those Arawak-connected tribes who lived on the island and depended on fishing for their livelihood. They would come inland to get fresh water for their habitats on the beach. Lucayan bones and artifacts, such as pottery, have been found in the caves, as well as on the beaches.
