Bahama House, Harbour Island
"Harbour Island requires an extra hop via water taxi from Eleuthera...and loyal visitors will tell you it is worth the effort."
Looking for a Change of Scenery on a "Family Island"? Tired of Cooking? Want to Fish All Day? Sit By the Pool?
Harbour Island has long been an exclusive hideout in the Bahamas for those "in the know" travelers seeking barefoot luxury and tranquility in a pristine island setting. Known as one of the "Family Islands" in the outer part of the Bahamian archipelago, Harbour Island is a tiny 3 mile by 1/2 mile strip of paradise. While it requires an extra hop via water taxi from Eleuthera Airport (ELH), and loyal visitors will tell you it is worth the effort. Most airlines connect via Nassau (NAS), Fort Lauderdale (FLL) or Miami (MIA) into Eleuthera. Settled by British Loyalists in the 1700s, Harbour Island was once the capital of the Bahamas and now enjoys its "retirement" with a relaxed, tropical vibe. Once on Harbour Island, enjoy pink-sand beaches, Colonial British island history, pastel-colored houses, and loads of activity options. Or just sit with a Goombay Smash cocktail in hand and perfect your tan.
