Rock Sound, Eleuthera Island, Bahamas


The settlement of Rock Sound on Rock Sound Harbour has a huge all around protection anchorage that attracts boats when a cold front is coming. Rock Sound is cruiser friendly with two dinghy docks, two grocery stores, gas stations, laundromat, restaurants, stores and more along with friendly folks.

The dinghy dock is what remains of the original pier

Friendly "potcake" dog called that since they are fed the leftover rice in the pot

Surprising to see morning glories on the sand


Inlet cut off and now a salt pond

Always amazed to see what you'll find on the beach
Ocean hole is like a swimming pool with fish

Hard to see the fish until you feed them that fisherman have dumped in ocean hole
Pretty cottages by the sea

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.
