AREA ATTRACTIONS / ACTIVITIES:

The island of Eleuthera offers a diverse range of unique activities and excursions that guests can embark on from the resort: • Harbour Island – Rated as one of the “Best Bahamas Beaches” by Fodors, Frommers, and The Travel Channel, Harbour Island Bahamas is famous for its colorfully painted New England-style architecture and long stretch of perfect pink sand beaches. Approximately 3.5 miles long and only 1.5 miles wide, Harbour Island is located just off the tip of Eleuthera, separated by a narrow channel. • Glass Window Bridge – One of Eleuthera’s more popular attractions. Many times referred to as the “narrowest place on Earth”, the man-made bridge took the place of a naturally formed bridge of rock that was destroyed in a hurricane. From the bridge, you can see a phenomenal contrast between the dark blue Atlantic Ocean churning away and the calm turquoise waters of Caribbean Sea. • The Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve – A 25-acre site where the primary focus of the Preserve is to raise the awareness of Bahamian plant diversity and bush medicine. It serves as a center for environmental education. • Governor’s Harbour – A gracious seaside town and fishing community of a few hundred residents with a distinctly colonial feel and a tangible expatriate presence. • Surfers Beach – The most well-known surfing beach in the Bahamas. Located a couple of miles south of Gregory Town on the Atlantic side, this beach has a great left break over a deep reef. • Hatchet Bay Caves – A mile long cave filled with stalagmites and stalactites, which will take on the appearance of underground cathedrals in torch light.
