Eleuthera is 110 miles long, two miles at its widest point, and its highest elevation is 168 feet. It is the fourth most populated island of The Bahamas , with approximately 8,000 residents, most of whom either fish in the miles of deep blue sea or farm the rolling acres of pineapple plantations. Much of the island’s architecture and way of life were influenced by Loyalist settlers in the late 1700s.
Eleuthera is an island of casual sophistication. Quiet, isolated communities and well-developed resorts, tall rocky bluffs and low-lying wetlands, blue holes and caves, massive coral reefs and sweeping pink sand beaches combine to create a fascinating picture.
The island is administratively divided into three divisions. North, Central and South. The capital of Eleuthera is Governor’s Harbour and Rock Sound is the second major township. The two are the primary business centers of Eleuthera and serve as your major shopping areas, although there is shopping in all of the other townships.
