Discover Harbour Island

This world-famous, roughly five-kilometer-long beach owes its soft pink hue to tiny crushed shells and ranks among the most beautiful and most-photographed beaches in the Caribbean.

The island's only town captivates with colorful colonial houses from the 18th century, white picket fences and a relaxed, almost timeless atmosphere far from mass tourism.

Since regular cars are barely permitted, getting around happens almost exclusively by golf cart — an unhurried, charming mode of transport that underscores the island's exclusive character.

Despite its small size, Harbour Island is home to some of the most respected restaurants in the Bahamas, often with direct ocean views and a focus on fresh local seafood.

Direct flights land at North Eleuthera Airport, from where a short water taxi ride continues to the car-free island.

English is the official language, making communication consistently easy for travelers.

December to April is best for dry, sunny weather outside the hurricane season in late summer and fall.

Since regular cars are barely permitted, getting around happens almost exclusively by golf cart, which can be rented locally, or on foot through the narrow streets of Dunmore Town.
