Harbour Island
In the 1700s, English loyalists settled here and
this island was the site of the first Bahamian
parliament. It has long been a hide-a-way
for the rich and famous but more recently
has become popular with a larger group of
tourists that can now share in the delights
of relaxing on Harbour Island’s famous pink
beaches and driving a golf cart past the
pastel coloured cottages of the island’s only
settlement, Dunmore Town.

Nassau
It is no surprise that Nassau is one of the
most popular ports of call for Caribbean
Cruise Ships as it has much to offer any
visitor. Apart from the white sand of Cable
Beach and the 4 acre Ardastra Gardens, Zoo,
and Conservation Center there are many
museums, shops and restaurants to explore
including the Nassau Straw Market. Plus of
course Blue lagoon Island with its Dolphins
and the Paradise Island are both just a short
bat ride away.
