Grand Bahama Island's Fortune Beach is Backyard Paradise
GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND, The Bahamas, November 1, 2005 - Miles of white sandy beaches, azure blue ocean and lush green botanicals symbolizes Fortune Beach, the enclave that Shoreline calls home.
Located on Grand Bahama Island just 50 miles off the coast of Florida, Shoreline at Fortune Beach is a 26-acre master-planned community with single-family homes ranging from $680,000 to more than $2.5 million. Shoreline developers say the natural beauty of Fortune Beach is one of the main attractions for its homebuyers.
A true tropical treasure, Fortune Beach was named after a shipwreck worth millions of dollars discovered just off its shore. Once a pirate's cove, today Fortune Beach is a backyard paradise residents at Shoreline call home.
"It's almost like having your own private beach and miles and miles of it," says Jervis. "In the afternoon you can go for a stroll and grab a bite to eat or go sport fishing or just lounge under a palm tree. At night it's the perfect background for happy hour or a romantic interlude watching the sunset. It is as little or as much as you want to make of it."
A leisurely walk in either direction down Fortune Beach will land you at a quaint and authentic beach bar, perfect for grabbing a casual bite to eat or toasting the sunset.
"For people who are used to a hectic lifestyle, the pace seems almost at a standstill," says Jervis. "But once you adapt to this casual lifestyle with a twist of modern-day convenience, you never want to go back to the rat race."
Fortune Beach is home to snorkeling, parasailing, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, fly-fishing, jet skiing and swimming with the dolphins. Bone fishing is also a popular activity among locals and visitors. Named after the bone fish, the pastime is similar to sport fishing, but in shallow waters.
Although it's surrounded by activities, Fortune Beach itself is vacant from vendors. "One of the nice things about Fortune Beach it that it's not overdeveloped. It's not a major tourist attraction like many of the United States coastal towns where people are laying on top of each other," says Jervis. "This is serene and unspoiled territory."

Shoreline homeowners seem sold on the idea of having stretches of white sandy beaches just a few steps away. Residents Michael and Stephanie Stomberg said the easy access to activities available at Our Lucaya and the "quick walk down the beach to grab a bite to eat" were influential in their buying decisions.
