Why Go?
So what do you do in Eleuthera, a 100-mile-long wisp curving east like an archer's bow?
According to literature, research and dependable local gossips, most people come here to
do…absolutely nothing. That's right. The beach bum is the true royal here, their every
do-nothing need met by mile upon mile of obliging shores. These are the supermodels of
the beach world: pink sand, sunlight dancing on cerulean waters, sheltered coves, dramatic
cliffs.
For those looking for more than a suntan, Eleuthera offers a number of high energy dis-
tractions. Wreck divers can explore the Devil's Backbone, fashionistas and foodies can sal-
ivate at the upscale boutiques and bistros of Harbour Island, and seasoned surfers can catch
the waves of the eastern shore. While Harbour Island, a celebrity favorite, is developed and
pricey (though fabulous), 'mainland' Eleuthera is ripe for off-the-beaten-path exploration.
