Tucked away at the northern tip of Eleuthera, Harbour Island is a Bahamian gem famed for its blush-pink sands and laid-back charm. If you're here for dreamy beach days on Pink Sand Beach or the buzz of colourful Dunmore Town, you’re in the right spot. Hotels range from chic oceanfront resorts with fine dining to cosy heritage inns and relaxed family-friendly stays. For boutique vibes, base yourself in Dunmore Town; for luxury and sea views, stay right on the sand.
At its heart is Dunmore Town, where pastel-painted buildings line narrow streets filled with quirky shops, inviting galleries, and laid-back eateries—the Princess Street Gallery is a favourite stop for many. On the eastern shore, the famous Pink Sand Beach is the perfect spot for lazy strolls, a swim in turquoise waters, or simply soaking up the sun. Out on the water, there’s no shortage of adventure—snorkelling, diving, kayaking, and sailing are all on the menu. And if you’re craving a change of scenery, a quick water taxi ride will whisk you to Northern Eleuthera or striking Spanish Wells, where you can try lobster fishing, explore sandbars, or even swim with pigs. It’s a charming, colourful slice of the Bahamas that’s worth planning ahead for—its best spots fill up fast.
