elcome to our beautiful islands of The Eleutheras, whether, you are returning to your second home in Harbour Island, Spanish Wells or mainland Eleuthera (inclusive of all surrounding small islands), discovering our slice of paradise for the very first time, or if you belong to that special group of visitors who find themselves drawn back to our sun-drenched shores year after year. The Eleutheran Magazine in this issue offers a view of the beautifully undulating rhythm of the islands, from our quiet, expansive beauty to the colorful sights and sounds that light up this island of festivals, homecomings, and the nationally loved
tradition of Junkanoo that thrives here. On the cover: On a feisty afternoon in North Eleuthera, just south of the Glass Window Bridge, a group of intrepid young people, eyeing it up close, brave the fury of the Atlantic,
that on rough days send waves crashing over the cliffs, naturally replenishing the salt water pools, locally dubbed the ‘Queen’s Baths’. On the inside: See how the other half makes their travel plans, small group style. Discover the inspiration behind a talented local artist, in a candid conversation. Immerse yourself in the possibilities with a first look at new offerings and upcoming additions at some of Eleuthera’s top resorts and boutique getaways. Engage in a new way to vacation, and explore sustainable tourism opportunities on island. Experience the color, and vibrancy of Eleu-
thera’s cultural celebrations. Get a taste of Eleuthera with myriad dining choices. Take in island fashion and places to ‘buy local’. Adventure, with 110 miles of things to see and do and a breathtaking beach for every day of your visit with us. Welcome to The Eleutheras!
