📍 Destination Overview
Harbour Island, off Eleuthera in the Bahamas, is world-famous for its pink sand beach. Formed from red coral fragments mixed with white sand, the rosy band stretches about 5km, rated among the world's most beautiful beaches. Dunmore Town charms with colonial pastel houses and has almost no cars — golf carts are the only transport. Southern reefs invite snorkelling and diving.
