Spanish Wells and Harbour Island

The north end of Eleuthera is covered by a major reef called the Devil's Backbone.  It's considered foolish to even attempt to weave through the heads of coral to make you way along the northern and eastern shore from Spanish Wells to Harbour Island.   We did not.  But we let the professional wind his way through the reefs, in the large ferry that travels each day from Nassau to Spanish Wells, then on to Harbour Island and returns.  

Spanish Wells is a working community full of large fishing boats and the houses to match. Harbour Island is a tourist stop mainly due to its very pretty pink beach.   Natually we now have a small bottle of said sand.   Get ready grandkids.   Do I hear Christmas presents???



 We rented a golf cart for the day and saw all the sites of Harbour Island.   Great place 
if you are wanting to get away from everything.
But we have places to go and are in search of sunshine, so its off to the Exumas.
