Eleuthera & Harbour Island

Harbour Island is a quaint, seaside town with storied New England-style architecture. Eleuthera is a sprawling stretch of wild beauty. All that separates them is a five-minute ferry across sky-blue waters. Make no mistake; if you visit one, you’ll want to visit the other.
Sports & Nature
The Queen’s Baths or the Hot Tubs, are located 0.6 miles south of the Glass-window Bridge on the rugged Atlantic side of the island. These natural pools (carved by centuries of waves pounding the rock) are filled with dramatic crashing waves, shells, and small sea life that wash over from the Atlantic Ocean. Once settled, this crystal clear water is warmed by the sun, creating a bath-like temperature tidal pool that’s perfect for soaking. The best time to visit the hot tubs is during the low or medium tide. When visiting, it is best to wear water or tennis shoes.
Culture and History Info
Originally, Harbour Island and Eleuthera were home to the Lucayan and Arawak People. Christopher Columbus famously discovered the Bahamas in 1492 and wiped out the local indigenous populations by the middle of the 16th century. The island would remain uninhabited for 100 years until some ministers fleeing religious persecution from England settled the island in 1650.
That all changed in 1717 when the settlement surrendered to the British Crown, officially making Eleuthera and Harbour Island a part of the colony of the Bahamas. The complex coral systems around Briland made it notorious for shipwrecks. Naturally, wrecking became an important source of income for the island’s inhabitants. In the 18th century, residents of Harbour Island carried special licenses to assist wrecked ships in return for a third of the recovered loot.
As the settlement grew, so did its economy. Prosperous years were on the horizon as shipbuilding, sugar refinement, and a prohibition-fueled rum boom stimulated the local economy.
You may be wondering how Dunmore Town, Harbour Island’s only town, got its name. It turns out that the governor of Virginia fled to the Bahamas during the American Revolutionary war. He was awarded the title of Lord Dunmore, Governor of the Bahamas and settled in a Victorian cottage on Bay Street. He was responsible for the urban planning of the town you see today!
World War I became a major turning point for the island. As the global depression affected the island’s economy its idyllic pink sand beaches and tropical environment had no choice but to step into the spotlight. The island started becoming a tourism destination in the 1920s and exponentially grew when Bahamas Airways began flying to the island in 1941. Since then, tourism has been the island’s main industry.
In 1973, the colony claimed its independence and became a member of the British Commonwealth with its own parliament, flag, and national anthem.
