Harbour Island is a small island off the northeast coast of Eleuthera, about three miles long and best known for the soft pink sand of its Atlantic beach. Dunmore Town, one of the oldest settlements in the Bahamas, faces the calm harbor side with clapboard cottages, picket fences and bougainvillea, and residents and visitors get around by golf cart. The island has drawn a fashionable crowd for decades, and its intimate hotels, beach clubs and restaurants keep it one of the most sought-after addresses in the Bahamas for vacations and second homes.

There is no runway on Harbour Island itself; travelers land at North Eleuthera Airport and take a short taxi ride to the dock, then a few minutes by water taxi across the harbor. Airline routes often add a connection through Nassau, while a private flight from South Florida goes direct to North Eleuthera on your own schedule. Bring a passport for Bahamas customs and immigration on arrival and U.S. customs on the return. Booking the whole airplane for one price suits couples and families heading over for a long weekend.

Things to do in Harbour Island

When to go. Harbour Island is at its best from December through May, with dry, sunny weather and comfortable evenings, and the island is busiest around the holidays and spring breaks. Junkanoo brings drums and costumes to Dunmore Town at Christmas and New Year’s. Summer is hot and quieter, with calm water ideal for swimming, and hurricane season runs from June through November, so watch forecasts for late-summer and early-fall trips.

    Pink Sands Beach

    Roughly three miles of pale pink sand, tinted by tiny shell fragments, runs along the island’s Atlantic side, protected by an offshore reef that keeps the water calm for swimming.

  2. 02

    Dunmore Town

    Harbour Island’s historic settlement has colonial-era churches, brightly painted cottages, small boutiques and waterfront restaurants along Bay Street, all easily explored by golf cart or on foot.

  3. 03

    Sip Sip

    This casual, colorful lunch spot overlooking Pink Sands Beach is known for its lobster quesadillas, conch chili and relaxed, long midday meals.

  4. 04

    Spanish Wells

    A short boat ride west, this tidy fishing community on St. George’s Cay is home to much of the Bahamas’ spiny lobster fleet, with quiet beaches and clear water.

    Preacher’s Cave

    On North Eleuthera, this large cave is where the Eleutheran Adventurers, Puritan settlers from Bermuda, are said to have sheltered after shipwreck in the 1640s and held services.

  6. 06

    Current Cut

    Between Eleuthera and Current Island, strong tides sweep divers through a narrow channel in one of the most exhilarating drift dives in the Bahamas, past rays, turtles and schools of fish.
