My husband and I stayed on Eleuthera and took a water taxi to Harbour Island to go to the Pink Sand Beach. Beach was beautiful and not crowded at all. The beach is lined with hotels, but Teejays is a little restaurant right on the beach that rents beach chairs and umbrellas. I think it was only $25 to rent two chairs and an umbrella. They also served food and drinks, so even though we weren't staying at a Harbour Island hotel it felt like we had access to all the amenities. Right next to Teejays is a horse rental place. As we were sitting on the beach we saw multiples groups riding horses on the beach, and at one point the horses were just hanging out on the beach to take a rest. We really enjoyed watching the horses, and the families who rented them seemed to be having fun.

What a wonderful experience, the views are incredible the convenience of a restaurant on the beach and also a more formal restaurant inside Pink Sands made dining experiences beautiful and yet simple to plan. All of the staff and I mean all of the staff could not be kinder, sweeter, or have more skilled customer service qualities. From the reception with the glass of wine to turn down bed in the evening it was definitely a class A experience with five stars for beauty convenience class in the ease of getting around the island in a golf cart was fun enjoyable and allowed us to go to many different restaurants Plus the restaurant in the Pink Sands. We will definitely want to go back👀✔❣

The 3.5 km are certified by Garmin following a jog in which I covered the entire beach from start to finish.
Very beautiful, wide, soft and very fine sand (to define it as pink takes a bit of imagination).
Incredibly we have always found it practically deserted.
Crystal clear sea with extraordinary colors.
The only flaw: there are no natural shaded areas.

If you are expecting a Barbie pink beach... Well this beach is not for you.
If, however, you want to see a pink beach during a beautiful sunset, here you can enjoy it in absolute tranquility!
We stayed here for 4 days, peace of mind and a feast for the eyes!

Beautiful, huge beach on Eleuthera, Harbour Island. Everyone here moves around in golf carts, which is worth a trip in itself. Then Pink Sands Beach! It rarely appears in the rankings of the best beaches in the world. I am always surprised that beaches in the Philippines, Bali and even Mallorca, all of which I know, are in the top 20. This one is clearly in the top 3 of the most beautiful beaches in the world. In any case, I believe that the most beautiful beaches in the world can be found on the 16 large islands of the Bahamas.

The beach is one of the nicest I have ever been to in the world. Better than Mexico, better than the USVI, and BVI's, you name it. The sand is not only pink but its fine as silk and beautifully manicured and taken care of.

Coral Sands Hotel - Harbour Island
I decided on this hotel being on the famous pink sand beach… it was amazing.. we had a garden view room decorated tastefully with Molton Brown toiletries, it is directly on the beach so 10/20 for location. We were only on the island for 2 nights but should of hired a golf buggy it what everyone uses & check to book… hotel can sort this for you.
Apart from the beach we visited Valentines one night while the Super Bowl final was on & amazing atmosphere.. the islands know as the friendly place and it totally is.. started talking to a couple who live there who took us to Samnys Bar
We also went to dinner at Acquapazza Wine Bar & Ristorante the food was amazing,
And lunch at our hotel equally fantastic

Very clean, very fine sand with a beautiful pink touch. Shallow water perfect for all kind of beach fun.
Restaurants and little shacks providing all necessities.
Not crowded when we visited, even though peak season.

Start to finish, this was a vacation we'll never forget. Our garden cottage was comfortable, spacious and beautiful. The resort has two wonderful restaurants, with breakfast right on the beach-- gorgeous views, great menu and friendly and helpful staff. Everyone on staff was gracious and welcoming - most memorable were Ninja, Peter and Vanessa. Everyone, including Mr. Kym Nielsen, the General Manager did everything they could to ensure our stay was wonderful. Many, many thanks to all. We'lll be back. Absolutely.

Any idea if there are safety lockers or luggage storage available anywhere on Harbor Island? I plan to make a day-trip (by ferry) from Nassau to Harbor Island to see the Pink Sands Beach. I would need to keep my phone, wallet, etc. safe to be able to enjoy the beach. Appreciate your reply!
Written February 5, 2020
Hello no there are no lockers but there are places you can rent umbrellas and chairs and you can leave everything there. It’s pretty safe.

You’ll have to take a ferry to Harbour Island. It’s about 2/2.5 hours from Nassau.

Was the sand truly pink? I really want to see pink sand for real.
Written August 30, 2018
Depends on what you are thinking by pink. Nowhere in the world is it that bright pink, it kind of changes pink hues depending on the light and angle you are looking at it. It gets its pink hue from the coral shells of tiny sea creatures (non-scientific explanation) and mixed with white sand makes a pinkish color. The sand is beautifully soft- like walking in flour and doesn’t get hot. Look at some of the pictures related to the post and judge for yourself. I will say it has the best sand I’ve ever put my toes in.
