Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera Island, Bahamas

Awakened by the change in wind direction, beckoned that it was time to move south along the island, past Alabaster Bay and on to Governor's Harbour. This settlement has the history and elegantly restored homes and  is home to the beautiful stretch of pink sandy beach.

Pink traditionally for administrative buildings

In the heart of downtown

Our choice of beach on the banks side or a hike across the island to the Tongue of the Ocean side beach great for beach combing.
