Harbour Island, Island district in The Bahamas
Located off the northeast coast of Eleuthera Island, Harbour Island stretches for 4 kilometers with pink sand beaches along its eastern shore.
The island's Dunmore Town was named after Governor John Murray, who maintained a summer residence there between 1786 and 1798.
Local residents refer to their island as Briland and inhabit colonial-style buildings with wooden facades painted in different colors along structured streets.
Visitors reach the island through North Eleuthera Airport, followed by a water taxi ride that takes approximately five minutes to cross.
The eastern beach displays a natural pink coloration due to microscopic foraminifera organisms with reddish shells mixing with the sand.
