Eleuthera | _ | | _ | | | Governor's Harbour is a pretty town of timber houses set on the curve of
Cupid's Bay and Rock Sound to the south of the island. It's the largest town
on Eleuthera dotted with picturesque, but faded gingerbread houses. Not far
off is one of Eleuthera's famous `Blue Holes', an inland lake connected to the
ocean deep underwater. Bone Fishing is great in this shallow water harbor.
The Glass Window Bridge, (about a 15 minute drive away) which spans a gap in
which the turbulent waters of the Atlantic meet the calmer seas of the Exuma
Sound on the island's leeward side. The existing man-made structure has
replaced a naturally formed bridge that was blown away in a hurricane.

charm is the town's architecture of New England style village and tropical
island greenery stretching out to meet the warm, pink-hued sand beaches this
island is famous for. Its resorts and the warm Briland hospitality housed in
the quaint New England architecture of the island's Loyalist history add to
nature's palette. Rows of century-old trees border narrow flower-lined
streets. It's a sight not to be missed.
PINK SANDS - 5th Night free Special Package | | | _ | | _ | | | Located nearly midway between North Eleuthera Airport and Governor's Harbour
Airport, Gregory Town is one of the larger settlements on Eleuthera, and is
considered the "Pineapple Capital" of The Bahamas due to its history of
producing what many consider to be the tastiest pineapples in the world. The
surrounding area of rolling hills and rocky cliffs on the Atlantic Ocean side
provide an awesome contrast to the calm Caribbean waters on the western side
of the island. A quiet holiday with beautiful natural scenery awaits the
vacationer in the Gregory Town area. | | | _ | | _ | | | SPANISH WELLS is a small commercial fishing community, located off the
island of North Eleuthera and is considered the fishing capital of the
Bahamas with the main catch being the lobster. Various size fishing boats
line the waterfront at the entrance of the harbour. Spanish Wells natives
are hard working and industrious people. A local Museum, various churches,
the beaches and a few shops are the main points of interest on the island. | | | | | | |
