Pink Sand Beaches- Things To Do In Harbor Island
In all our years of travel, we’ve visited white sand beaches, green and black sand beaches, but so far, the only place we have ever seen pink sand beaches is right here at home! Although the reasons behind the color are kind of gross when you think about it (it comes from the shells of dead insects that have been crushed and mixed with sand and coral), the shimmery pink of Pink Sands Beach is breathtaking and photographs beautifully.
The Glass Window Bridge
This is where two stunning seas come to meet. On one side, the royal blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, on the other the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Bight of Eleuthera. The Glass Window Bridge is actually a stone bridge with an opening that allows the waters to mingle on stormy days but mostly keeps them separated, creating an idyllic scene at which you won’t want to stop staring. Watching this beautiful scenery is one of our favorite things to do in Harbor Island.
Sip Sip
Only open from 11:30 AM until 4 PM, you’re about to enjoy the best lunch of your life when you chow down at Sip Sip. Offering views of the water that never fail to amaze and serving innovative Bahamian style foods, quick lunches here often turn into long ones filled with laughter, good food, and gossip—which is what the term sip sip actually means! And even though they are famous for their Lobster Quesadillas, every item on the menu is fresh, delicious, and made with locally-sourced ingredients when available.
