The miles-long pink sand beach on Harbour Island is probably the most well known beach in Eleuthera and perhaps the most photographed as well. It has been featured in many travel magazines and articles not only for the spectacular beach but also because of the number of celebrities that frequent the island. The reef-protected beach is wide and the water is shallow and calm even though it is on the Atlantic side. All the expensive hotels here keep the beach well cleaned and groomed. The rest of Eleuthera’s beaches are “au naturel”.
