Eleuthera is many things to many people. For some, it is the multi-colored waters that surround the island. For others, it is pink sand between their toes and a cool drink or indulging in delicious Bahamian fare. Some like to chow with the islanders at the Friday night fish fry, and for the revelers, party at Elvina's in Gregory Town till the wee hours of the morning. But for most who make the trip to Eleuthera, the island of freedom, they come for its peace and serenity -- that feeling of being far removed from the rest of the world.

Here is a variety of reviews of Eleuthera along with photos and map notes. There is so much more to Eleuthera beyond what you read here. Part of the fun of island travel is exploration and discovery, and Eleuthera has no shortage of that. Come visit the island and see how beautiful freedom can be.
