Is Freeport Bahamas worth visiting?

While it is not as upscale or developed as other parts of the Bahamas, especially Nassau, Freeport still presents a laid back atmosphere, typical of the Bahamas. Overall, Freeport is a nice, quiet island to visit, but I would not visit there often. In my opinion, Nassau/Paradise Island is a far better place to visit.

Which is better Freeport or Nassau?

Freeport is more laid back and quaint than Nassau’s city hustle and bustle. The beaches and water are better in Freeport, but there is more to do in Nassau, and of course there is Atlantis in Nassau. I prefer Freeport, it’s friendly and low key. The Westin is probably the resort of choice.
