Harbour Island - Home of Friendly People

by Willettsworld - last update: Feb 5, 2006

The sign says it all
Harbour Island lies 2 miles off the mainland of Eleuthera and 60 miles east of Nassau. The islands only settlement is Dunmore Town which is named after Lord Dunmore who was Governor between 1786-1797.

The most famous thing about Harbour Island is it's 3 mile long pink sand beach which runs down the entire eastern side of the island. The pink sand really has to be seen to be believed.

Harbour Island is easy to get to from Nassau on the daily fast ferry service which makes it an ideal day trip.
Yes the sand is really pink!

 Is the price of the ferry per person? How did you get around once you were dropped off? Is it far to the beach? and are they really pink?
