Harbour Island, also known as Briland to local residents, is only three miles long by half a mile wide. It is home to Dunmore Town, a quaint village that is one of the oldest settlements in the Bahamas. The island’s hilly narrow streets are lined with pastel New England style houses, which are available to buy or rent.
The warm clear waters surrounding the island provide world-class fishing, diving and boating. Harbour Island’s famous Pink Sand Beach and colorful reefs provide picturesque swimming and snorkeling spots. Other island activities include bone-fishing, kiteboarding, deep sea fishing, tennis, shopping, wind-surfing, shelling, kayaking, fine dining and, of course, relaxing!
The icing on the cake is the island’s exceptional year-round weather. Average highs range in the mid-70s and 80s and lows are in the mid-60s and 70s, while ocean breezes keep you comfortable day or night.
Harbour Island is situated on the north side of Eleuthera and accessible only by boat. Only an hour trip from Miami, the island is quick and easy to get to.
