Label well "FROZEN FOODS, GOVERNOR'S HARBOUR, ELEUTHERA BAHAMAS and YOUR NAME". Shopping is less than 5 miles away for food, spirits, and bottled drinking water; however, if you are arriving late on Saturday or arriving on Sunday, you should bring some food with you.
Nearby Attractions:
The island stretches 100 miles long and is broken up into the various communities of Eleuthera. Just off the northern end of the island lies the fishing village of Spanish Wells whose islanders are of Scandinavian descent. Off the north eastern end of the island lies the bustling community of Harbour Island, noted for its pink sand beaches, island shops, reef diving, and hotels. While cars are allowed on these offshore islands, golf carts and motor scooters are the major means of transportation for visitors on the island. Both Spanish Wells and Harbour Island are accessible to the main island by water taxis. Never a wait, as water taxis are always available to take you over to these tourist spots.
Land mass varies on the island. The northern end of the island is home to The Cliffs located north of James Cistern where you can stand 70 feet over a pounding ocean that is dramatic in all directions. Just south of The Cliffs the island narrows to a breathtaking view of the “glass window bridge”--- an area where the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea are divided by a narrow bridge. It is worth the trip to see the roaring water of the Atlantic compressed between the high cliffs, and contrasted by the calmness of the Caribbean Sea on the other side of the bridge. The northern part of the island is home to quaint villages such as The Current, James Cistern, Hatchet Bay, and Gregory Town. Gregory Town is noted for its small sweet pineapples and the Island Shop. The Island Shop sells native island products from many of the Bahamian islands.
The middle of the island is home to Governor’s Harbour, a business center on the main island. Governor’s Harbour has two commercial banks, several grocery stores, a number of island shops, dive shop, many island restaurants, bakery, library, churches of most any denomination, the local police, post office, and most of all—friendly people.
Traveling approximately five miles south on Queen’s Highway from Governor’s Harbour, you will come to the community of Palmetto Point, home to several very good restaurants including Mate & Jenny’s, Unique, and Runaway Bay.
Ten Bay Beach
Eleuthera Island could be called the island of broken dreams as the island has been home to many foreign dreamers wishing to capture their piece of paradise and share it with the world. Ten Bay Beach was once home to someone’s fantasy of an island club community. The dream on the beautiful piece of property was for 227 home sites surrounded by the natural beauty of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea as the proposed development was to border both major bodies of water. Overlooking two natural lakes, the owners constructed the “Tea House,” a club for get-togethers for property owners. The “Tea House” ---or what is left of it-- is all that remains, along with the beauty of the water and the beaches.
The Walker home, Serenity Cove, is tucked away in a small natural protected cove overlooking Ten Bay Beach. The property, made up of three lots of natural trees and palms, offers vacationers much wanted privacy. The house is situated on a rise to take advantage of the view and ever-present Caribbean breeze. Through the water, the beach is less than a 60-yard walk. By walking trail, the beach is approximately 300 yards to the right of the property.
South of Ten Bay Beach lies the communities of Savannah Sound, Rock Sound, Tarpum Bay and Cape Eleuthera. Most noted in these communities are Mrs. Sands bread in Savannah Sound, fresh fish off the boats at Tarpum Bay, the “ocean hole”--an immensely deep blue hole connected subterraneous with the ocean-- in Rock Sound, and Lighthouse Beach, a beautiful deserted beach at the southern tip of the island.
Cape Eleuthera at the southern end of the island holds another of Eleuthera’s broken dreams, a now defunct resort community of deep-water lots. Pilots would be interested in seeing the overgrown dirt mound on the end of a broken-paved runway once capable of handling jumbo jets. For island buffs, an interesting trip to see what could have been a thriving commercial investment now overgrown with runaway hibiscus, oleander, and bougainvillea growth.
It is hard to describe the beauty of Eleuthera; you have to experience Eleuthera.
