Eleuthera, Bahamas - It's not for everyone!
The first time I heard the catch phrase for the charming
Bahamian Out Island of Eleuthera, "It's not for everyone", I had
a good chuckle, but once you experience it and really start to
think about it, there's a whole lot of truth in those words.
Eleuthera is a precious and special place, but it's definitely
not for everyone. If you are looking for casinos, nightlife, and
lots of activities then you'll probably be disappointed. If you
are looking for a vacation that cleanses mind and soul, where
your body falls in tune with the rise and fall of the sun, and
where peace, solitude, and private beaches will be your fondest
memory, then maybe Eleuthera is just right for you!
Private beaches. In Eleuthera, your vacation starts with
the beaches. With two long 100 mile shores stretching from north
to south and touching both the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic
Ocean you would expect to have some spectacular beaches. Not
only are the beaches indescribably beautiful, but they're
usually deserted. I often get asked by travelers to explain how
crowded the beaches are, and the easiest answer I can give is
that if you find a single set of footprints in the sand, just
one, you can probably find a beach that has been less
frequented. It is often that you will have an entire beach to
yourself, and I mean the whole beach. It is possible that it
will be like that for the entire day without seeing a single
soul. If that level of privacy is in your plans then you're
going to love Eleuthera!
The Atlantic or the Caribbean? Since the island is only
two miles wide it is really easy to scoot from the Atlantic to
the Caribbean whenever you would like. Often guests want to know
which is better so they can choose a villa on one side or the
other, and there is no correct answer. They're both great, and
they're slightly different.
The Caribbean side. The Caribbean offers shallower water,
no deeper than fifteen feet, and is free from cruise ship
pollution. There are fewer beaches that tend to be quaint half
moons that require you to wade out quite a bit from shore before
getting even waist deep. The water tends to be calmer, a little
bit cooler, and is a light aqua color that almost shines
vibrantly with the glow from the white sand below.
The Atlantic side. The Atlantic is deep blue, has more
wave action and generally offers more ambient sea sound for
those who love to hear the song of the ocean. The beaches are
wider and longer, and there are more of them. You'll be able to
get into deeper water much
quicker, but instead of trying to
pick which body of water you'd prefer, try to make the choice
this way. If you want sunsets pick the Caribbean. If you want
sunrises pick the Atlantic. You can always drive a mere two
miles and go to a different beach if you want to play in the
water on the other side of the island.
Oceans colliding in the south. Lighthouse Beach, to the
far southeast of the island, is one of the places where you can
see two oceans collide. The beaches are set like a "V" that is
separated by tall lime cliffs that can be climbed, and that
offer awesome views from up high. There is a separation between
two rock formations and there you can see where east meets west,
and where wind and tide direction work in opposite fashion until
they seemingly merge in a burst of spray. It's quite a special
day trip, and requires a four-wheel drive vehicle and a fair
amount of patience to make it down the long and
not-so-easy-to-find beach road, but once you've ended the
journey you'll take in probably the most breathtaking two
beaches on the island. It is possible to swim through that
channel and feel the power of oceans meeting. There are also a
couple of smaller cave beaches on the Atlantic side that are fun
to explore where the gorgeous pink sand is even cooler than
normal.
When preparing yourself for your trip to Eleuthera remember that
the island moves at a much different pace than you're probably
used to. It takes longer to get served. You're going to have
fewer people around, and the towns are reasonably far apart with
little to do. Relax and go with it!! You're going to have your
pick of gorgeous beaches with soft pink sand lovingly lapped by
turquoise blue water teaming with colorful fish suitable for an
aquarium. As you sit under the strong sun and absorb the warmth
of another perfect day in paradise you'll start to understand
why so many folks are choosing this tropical oasis as their
perfect respite from society. While not for everyone, it will
only take one hour from the Florida coast to find out if
Eleuthera is just right for you.
