Spanish Wells is one of the best kept vacation secrets in the Bahamas. This video is a bunch of clips getting to the island from Harrisburg PA airport (mdt). The round trip ticket cost in the neighborhood of $450.00.

Winding Bay
Winding Bay is the perfect get-a-way kind of place. There are few beach goers besides the local bird population. It’s one of those kinds of places that causes the rest of the world to melt into insignificance. A car is a must when staying in Winding Bay. I’d be willing to bet that when you […]
Ten Bay
Eleuthera while being a stunning island with beaches unmatched in beauty. Most of the island consists of small villages that don’t offer all that one needs. Most of the villages seem to have been left by time itself and much of the island can be remote. The remote nature of Eleuthera almost requires the rental […]
Governor’s Harbour
Governor’s Harbour is another on of those places on the island of Eleuthera that one could possible do without driving. The settlement of Governor’s Harbour enjoys a long history and has been a major part of the growth of the Bahamas. The age of the town is obvious by the mix of sprawling colonials and […]

Must Have Items for Eleuthera
While Eleuthera is incredibly beautiful and it’s people friendly, make no mistake it is also an adventure! Eleuthera is very rural as are most of it’s beaches. There are no amenities on most beaches, so you will need to provide them yourself. The first thing that I would suggest is having a cell phone with […]
Rock Sound Pics
Just thought I’d upload a few photos of Rock Sound just to give a quick view of a few parts of this sleepy village located in South Eleuthera. Enjoy!
Rock Sound Cave
The Cave at Rock Sound is located just outside of the settlement going south toward Green Castle. There is a white church building on the opposite side of the road so it’s easy to find. You will need to park along the side of the road. It used to be almost impossible to find, but […]
