Why this trip
Golf carts instead of cars, shimmering pink sand and lanes of colourful wooden houses: Harbour Island off Eleuthera is an island for travellers who want to slow down. The beach stretches over several kilometres, and outside the centre of the settlement you meet hardly anyone for hours. For couples a day at the Sugar Beach Sea Caves is worthwhile, for families an outing to the Sapphire Blue Hole or to Preacher's Cave, a cave with a history. The catalogue lists Coral Sands Inn & Cottages, The Dunmore Hotel and Pink Sands Resort, all close to the beach.
The journey runs via Nassau or Eleuthera and ends with a short boat transfer. Private Islands plans this leg with time buffers, because weather and sea conditions can shift times. The season from November to April brings dry, warm days. If you wish to combine Harbour Island with Exuma, you should discuss the change between the islands early, because every additional connection costs calm.
Nassau or Freeport are better suited to a stopover than to a second base.
