Harbour Island's east-facing beach owes its blush colour to tiny fragments of foraminifera shells. The sand is soft and the water shallow, protected by an offshore reef.

The island itself is tiny, with pastel Dunmore Town and golf-cart traffic.

Tips

  • Rent a golf cart to get around
  • Reach it via North Eleuthera airport and a water taxi
  • Visit at low tide for the widest beach
