Eleuthera

Eleuthera forms part of the Great Bahama Bank on its western edge, and its eastern coastline faces the Atlantic Ocean. The main Island lies 50 miles east of Nassau. Long and thin, one hundred and ten miles long and just over one mile wide at its narrowest. Beautiful pink sand beaches and a relaxed atmosphere make this a wonderful place to visit.

Eleuthera is two islands, North Eleuthera and South Eleuthera. In 1648, a group of Puritans sailed to Eleuthera in search of religious freedom. The word “Eleuthera” originates from the Greek word “eleuthero,” which means freedom.
