For some of us, vacation = beach. Sure, there are other types of recreational trips you can take, but they must be qualified as a ski vacation or a backpacking vacation or a vineyard-tour vacation or whatever. If we simply say vacation, we mean BEACH.
Crowded beaches have their virtues. People watching can be
fun. But for a shelling trip, we want the beach to ourselves. On a shelling
trip, we want to poke through that wrackline and beachcomb. On a shelling trip
we are going to want to put on a mask and jump in that water! You don’t have to
collect shells to have a good time with us, but you should be a beach lover.
Eleuthera isn’t for everyone. It’s usually pretty quiet. If
you rafted a few of the big cruise ships together, that would be more people than
you’d find on the whole 110-mile long island. If you want nightclubs or shopping, head to Nassau or Grand Bahama.
Here’s what they have on Eleuthera: beaches! And yes, there are charming little towns and other things
of note, but mainly beaches. If you were using the terrain generator of the old
SimCity game to create an island with the maximum ratio of beach to landmass,
you could hardly solve that equation more effectively than nature has with
Eleuthera.
Coves, bays, cliffs, lagoons, barrier islands, reefs, sandbars, meadows, blue holes, salt ponds, mangroves and more.
White sand, pink sand, blue sky, turquoise water. Aaaaaaaah!
