6 Eleuthera Beaches You Will Regret Not Visiting
If your idea of the perfect beach includes miles of white sand, turquoise waters, and spectacular uncrowded stretches of paradise, you’re in the right place.
Eleuthera is home to some of the most incredible beaches in the world – including the iconic pink sand beaches in The Bahamas. Some say, there is even a secret beach ranked as the second-best in the world for surfing.
Ready to escape to paradise? Let’s explore 6 Eleuthera Beaches you will regret not visiting.
1. Pink Sand Beach
This is one of those places that you’ve been to, you know, and if you’ve not been, I hope to put you on it.
Pink Sand Beach is a beach in Eleuthera boasting spectacular blue waters. But what separates this into one of the most spectacular Eleuthera Beaches, and even the world, is the pink-splashed color of the sand.
Nowhere but here can you find such an iconic pink-sand beach, contrasting with the sparkling blue water in The Bahamas. Something you will hardly see anywhere else. And you deserve to see it.

2. French Leave Beach
French Leave Beach is one of the top Eleuthera beaches, where you can snorkel and swim. French Leave Beach stretches out over a mile, and is perfect for those looking to unwind. Of course there are turquoise waters. But what makes this beach one of the best things to do in Eleuthera, is its privileged location on Harbour Island.
Guests at French Leave Harbour Village are provided with a golf cart and can reach the beach within just a few minutes.

3. Receiver’s Beach
Looking unwind as a couple or family? Receiver’s Beach offers clear, calm and shallow waters and is often uncrowded. Walk on soft sands, and if you’re lucky, spot conchs, crabs, small fish and many sand dollars when stirring up the sand. Some pine trees provide shade, allowing you to unwind in the perfect environment.
This Eleuthera beach is filled with sand dollars and is one of the easiest to access.

4. Surfer’s Beach
Surfer’s Beach is an off-the-grid surfing paradise. If you like to surf, you’ve probably just found your slice of paradise. The waves here often reach above shoulder level, the water is crystal-clear – as with most Bahamas beaches -, and no crowds make for a unique surfing experience.
Some say this beach is the second-best for surfing worldwide, with professional surfers comparing these waves to some of the best found in Hawaii.
Surf in turquoise waters. Or maybe you’re content to just relax while gazing at the 3-kilometer beach. Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn, it’s breathtaking.

5. Queen’s Baths
Queen’s Baths is another Eleuthera beach you will regret not visiting. What sets Queen’s Bath apart? It’s the only natural pool in Eleuthera Bahamas, perfect for a quick dip.
These naturally-formed rock pools near Glass Window Bridge are warmed by the sun and filled by crashing waves, creating a soothing, surreal experience. The best time to venture to the beach is on low tide, when the rocks are visible and it’s easy to get in.
Make sure you wear proper shoes as the rocks are sharp.

6. Spanish Wells Beach
Nested in the remote Spanish Wells you’ll find this spectacular beach made of long-mile stretches of white sand and no crowds nearby. For those looking to escape the chaos, you’ll probably have found your slice of paradise at this Eleuthera beach.
The location is exquisite, just a few minutes away from the main island by boat. Relax and enjoy the shallow, pristine waters, which will most likely be uncrowded. For you, this means you’ll be greeted with a tropical beach away from everything and everyone – just like with most Exuma beaches. A sandbar on the nearby Royal Island will whisk you away to views you didn’t expect.
