Golf carts are the main way visitors get around Harbour Island, particularly around Dunmore Town and the island's narrow roads. Visitors arriving for a tour should check the exact meeting point and allow extra time if travelling from elsewhere on Eleuthera.
Harbour Island is known for its three-mile Pink Sands Beach, pastel-coloured buildings and historic Dunmore Town. Sitting just off Eleuthera, it has a slower pace than Nassau and a very different feel from the Bahamas' busier resort areas.
Tours around Harbour Island are best suited to travellers who want to combine the island's famous beaches with sightseeing, swimming, snorkeling or time on the surrounding water. If you're travelling from Nassau, check the total journey time carefully, as Harbour Island is a longer day trip than closer islands such as Rose Island.
