Lucayan National Park was established in 1982. The park consists of 40 acres along the coastline and inland to an underground cave system.

There are established boardwalk and footpath trails throughout the property, with picnic facilities located at the beach.

The park boasts one of the most extensive underwater cave systems in the world. Two caves are open to the public. Cave swimming is prohibited.

From the park Website:

"The Lucayan National Park protects one of the world’s longest charted underwater cave systems, preserved remains of the Lucayan Indians, and a prime combination of natural environments including pine forests, mangroves creeks, coral reefs, and the world-famous Gold Rock Beach. This Park exhibits all of the Bahamian vegetative zones. Established in 1982 and expanded in 2015, this national park is an important part of the economy of Grand Bahama supporting the livelihoods of many Bahamians. Lucayan National Park is now the 2nd most visited national park in The Bahamas."
