Eleuthera and Harbour Island Top Reasons to Go

Play in pink sand: Glorious, soft pink sand, the ethereal shade of the first blush of dawn, draws beach connoisseurs to Harbour Island. Plenty of pretty pink beaches also dot Eleuthera's east and north coasts.

Ogle island architecture: Historic homes with storybook gables and gingerbread verandas are the norm on Harbour Island and Spanish Wells. Picturesque Victorian houses overlook Governor's Harbour in Eleuthera.

Savor soulful sounds: Nights here rock with the Bahamian group Afro Band, the hip-hop of TaDa, the traditional sound of Jaynell Ingraham, and the calypso of Dr. Sea Breeze.

Indulge in alfresco dining: Harbour Island's intimate restaurants have reinvented regional cuisine. On Eleuthera, Governor's Harbour has a number of laid-back spots with memorable menus and magnificent views.
