Harbour Island is a world-famous destination known for its pink sandy beaches and serene surroundings. Called "Briland" by the locals, Harbour Island is tucked just northwest of Eleuthera. This dreamy island has drawn jetsetters like Uma Thurman and Elle Macpherson to its shores. Yacht charterers should not waste time getting to this famed island with its charming, blushing beaches.

The vibrant hue of the beaches on the east side of Harbour Island is a sight to behold. The soft, blushing sand gets its unique color from tiny sea creatures called foraminifera, with their reddish-pink shells. Whether walking along the shore or soaking in the view from a yacht, it's hard to resist spending all your time on these stunning beaches. But there's more to enjoy—the island's reef system keeps the water sparkling blue, making it perfect for any water activities.

The island's coastline offers a selection of upscale restaurants offering Bahamian delicacies and shops perfect for indulging in some retail therapy. It just wouldn't feel right to leave Harbour Island without a souvenir. Luckily, known to be as the Nantucket of the Caribbean, you can wander in and out of colorful boutiques filled with one-of-a-kind finds in Harbour Island. One standout specialty is the brightly embroidered, jute-woven totes that you'll see every local and tourist alike are carrying. Don't forget to grab one for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for friends back home.

Don’t miss Dunmore Town, the charming colonial-style village on Harbour Island. Its historic architecture, dating back to early English settlers, gives you a peek into the island’s rich history. Stroll through the quaint streets or hop on a golf cart to explore more—it’s a fun way to take it all in and maybe even spot some A-list celebrities who love this little slice of paradise.

Pink Sands Beach becomes enchanting at sunset as the sky's soft colors melt into the beach's signature blush sands. It's a romantic and peaceful way to wind down after a day of exploring—especially with a sunset horseback ride along the shore.
