About North Eleuthera
North Eleuthera is known for beautiful beaches, stunning views, and natural beauty. At the glass window bridge, you can marvel at the scene of the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the turquoise shallow water of Eleuthera. The Queen’s Baths are cliffside coves that fill with turquoise ocean water for a unique sea side experience. And the blue holes and caves serve as the perfect adventure in nature. With easy access to Spanish Wells from the Gene’s Bay Dock, and to Harbour Island from the Three Island Dock, North Eleuthera is paradise that lets you explore many different scenes. It’s also home to the ultra luxurious and beautiful Cove Resort, and has several pristine and quiet beaches in Current and Gregory Town. A car rental is a must to explore the island, and M&W Johnson’s Car Rentals is our recommendation. You can easily book online, and it’s run by Michelle Johnson, a wonderful local Bahamian known for her reliable service and friendly demeanour. You simply haven’t experienced the Bahamas if you don’t explore by sea, so be sure to book a boat excursion while you’re there. Our friends at Exotic Excursions are known for their friendly and professional service, and unbeatable knowledge of the waters.
