East Grand Bahama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
East Grand Bahama is a district of the Bahamas, situated on the eastern part of the island of Grand Bahama.
The local government for the district is in the settlement of High Rock, a fairly small town. It is situated approximately 40 miles east of the City of Freeport, and 20 miles from the easternmost settlement of McLeans Town. Other settlements of East Grand Bahama include Rocky Creek, Pelican Point, Gambier Point and Sweeting Cay.
For many years the United States Navy maintained a missile tracking station near High Rock, which was used mainly in connection with NASA's Lunar Program of the 1960s. The station is now used as a base of operations for a film studio, Buena Vista, which is scheduled to conduct filming for the Disney production of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
