The ORIGINAL Eleuthera Beaches Book - First edition published in 2001Only the Best Beaches>The Elusive Beaches of Eleuthera, BahamasThe beaches of Eleuthera are, simply put, FABULOUS. Much of this Bahamian island's shoreline is given to sandy beaches, however, access to these beaches can be really hard to find. Most access roads are little more than tracks cut through the bush by local farmers. Sometimes the roads are part of a housing subdivision and may (or may not) be paved, but even these can be overgrown. There are precious few "To The Beach" signs (the government did put up a few signs but many are now missing). If you venture down a promising looking road, there is no guarantee that it will take you anywhere near a beach. Clear Directions>The book also has GPS (Global Positioning System) readings for the turn to take from the Queen's Highway and where each access road ends at the beach. Each Beach RatedThe authors have personally inspected each beach and rated them in several useful categories: accessprivacyswimmingsnorkelingbeach combingEach beach is rated from 1 to 5 in each category with 5 being the highest rating.

Every beach on the island is awarded scores for ease of access, privacy, swimming, snorkeling and shelling. Directions and a brief description of each of these little bits of paradise accompany the scorecards. Beg, borrow or steal one of these books when you arrive, or contact these clever people yourself. Ten Best BeachesThe authors have also included their personal picks of the ten best beaches in Eleuthera.A Note from the AuthorsWhen we published the first edition, over 20 years ago, several of the beaches were unnamed, so we had to give them names for the book. We are proud to say that some of those names have stuck and become semi-official. We see many people using those names in forums and other books.Although we were the world's first "Beachologists" we now see the term used frequently.Geoff & Vicky Wells
