Eleuthera Island
Eleuthera Island
Miles of glistening pink and white sand beaches, serene colonial villages and rolling acres of pineapple plantations make Eleuthera an island of the most casual sophistication. The relaxed vibe of Eleutherean life and vibrant colors of the island give it the feel of unbounded calm and grace. Eleuthera has long been a favored destination among smart travelers seeking a bit of quiet charm.
Activities
- Preacher's Cave is a great place to go exploring. It's a subterranean cave in which the Eleutheran Adventurers, the happy few pilgrims who first landed here, took refuge and held religious services upon their arrival.
- After visiting Preacher’s Cave, check out the magnificent Cave at Hatchet Bay which has the appearance of a vaulted cathedral. It is more than a mile long, with stalagmites and stalactites that gleam in the torchlight.
- Another magnificent sight is the Glass Window Bridge, which spans a gap in which the turbulent waters of the Atlantic meet the calmer seas of the Exuma Sound on the island's leeward side.
Currency
The Bahamian dollar (BSD) is the official unit of currency. U.S. dollars, traveler's checks and credit cards are widely accepted.
