About Eleuthera & Harbour Island: a tale of two islands

Eleuthera is a pencil-thin island with 210 miles of coastline, 60 miles east of Nassau, served by North Eleuthera, Governor’s Harbour and Rock Sound airports. Harbour Island, “Briland”, is a five-minute ferry away: once the capital of The Bahamas, with New England-style houses and the Pink Sand Beach. Spanish Wells on St George’s Cay is a lobster-fishing town. Don’t miss the Glass Window Bridge.
