You are never far from the beach on the most popular of the
Bahama's Out Islands, Eleuthera, which stretches for almost 100
miles (161km) but is at most two miles (3km) wide. Eleuthera, and
especially its satellite island, Harbour Island, just a short
water-taxi ride away, have long been the holiday haunts of the
fashionable set, sporting luxury hotels and fine restaurants that
cater for trendy and wealthy visitors. The main entertainment here
is sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling, shell-collecting and fishing.
The scenery can be enjoyed through a meander along the coast,
passing scenic headlands and wandering through villages dotted
between dozens of pristine beaches.
