Old Photos & Postcards of Eleuthera Island, Bahamas

Eleuthera has a long history of being one of the preferred vacation islands in the Bahamas. These galleries of old restored postcards and photography are a testament to the many years of Eleuthera's popularity.

As one might expect, postcards typically feature hotels, resorts and points-of-interest as seen in these galleries. While a number of the older Eleuthera hotels and resorts featured here have closed, new ones have taken their place and there is an excellent selection of vacation rentals on Eleuthera.

Some of these older hotels and resorts remain legendary in name; more for their scenic locations and the beaches on Eleuthera they featured. French Leave, which later became Club Med, is a prime example. While Club Med has been closed for many years due to its destruction by hurricane Floyd in 1999, the beautiful pink sand crescent beach it resided on is still referred to as Club Med Beach.

These photo galleries include a number of points-of-interest that exist today. Hatchet Bay Caves is considered to be the best example of cave systems that exist on Eleuthera. Gregory Town continues to host the annual Pineapple Festival in June. Governor's Harbour, the capitol of Eleuthera, has a number of historical buildings as does Rock Sound and South Eleuthera.

We hope you will enjoy this walk down the memory lanes of Eleuthera.
