Harbor Island

Harbor Island is a small island located in the Bahamas, approximately three miles off the coast of Eleuthera Island. It is part of the Out Islands, and is known for its pristine white sand beaches, crystal clear turquoise waters, and lush tropical vegetation.

Harbor Island is approximately three miles long and one mile wide, and is home to a population of just over 500 people. The island is known for its laid back atmosphere, and the locals are friendly and welcoming. Visitors enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the abundance of activities available, including swimming, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, and sailing.

The island was first inhabited by the Lucayan Indians, and later by the Spanish, who named the island “Isla del Puerto”, meaning “Island of the Harbor”. During the 18th century, the island was used as a base for piracy, and was also the site of several battles between the British and Spanish navies.

Today, Harbor Island is a popular tourist destination, and is known for its beautiful beaches and luxurious resorts. The island also has several historical sites, including the ruins of a 16th century Spanish fort and a 19th century lighthouse.
