Bahamas Island Guide: Exuma, Eleuthera, and Harbour Island

Exuma: the water playground

Exuma is famous for a reason: swimming pigs, sapphire water, and deserted cays. Rent a beachfront villa and hire a boat for at least one day of island-hopping.

Eleuthera & Harbour Island

• Walk the pink-sand beaches of Harbour Island
• Cliff-jump at the Glass Window Bridge
• Eat conch fritters in Governor's Harbour
• Stay in a charming island cottage

Nassau for first-timers

Nassau and Paradise Island are the easiest entry points, with direct flights, resorts, and historic sites. Pair a few days here with a trip to an out island for balance.
