The Bahamas is a beautiful and intriguing vacation destination that offers up the scenery, sun, and sand that so many travelers crave from a getaway experience. While many visitors plan a trip alongside family or friends, Harbour Island proves time and again to be well-suited to those looking to enjoy a solo trip this direction. Easy to maneuver and filled with options for fun, those seeking an independent adventure in the Bahamas will want to focus on Harbour Island and be sure to add these stops to their itinerary.

Book a Deep Sea Fishing Charter

A solo trip to Harbour Island is a great opportunity to learn a new skill alongside a local guide and the best way to do that is to book a deep-sea fishing charter while you’re here. Dave and TJ’s Fishing Charters is conveniently headquartered in Dunmore Town and provides customized experiences for skilled or novice anglers. Learn to catch everything from snapper to tuna while not having to worry about bringing your own gear.

Settle in at Pink Sands Beach

Pink Sands Beach is a Harbour Island fan-favorite destination amongst nearly all travelers with good reason. There’s something spectacular about the hue and texture of these mesmerizing sands that makes it easy to settle in and let yourself get carried away with imagination. Pink Sand Beach tends to be a popular place, making it a great option for solo travelers looking for some tranquil time under the sun while still being a part of the collective crowd. Between the pink sand, turquoise wave and blue skies, this is a stop you’ll want to be sure to have your camera packed for.

Rent a Paddleboard and Explore the Water

Paddleboarding has long been a local and visitor favorite activity on Harbour Island thanks to the gentle waves that lap the shoreline. It’s the perfect option for a solo traveler looking for a physical challenge that also provides sightseeing options and a chance to simply reflect at the beauty that surrounds you.

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.
