During my 2014 trip to Eleuthera, I traveled from Harbour Island in the North to Cape Eleuthera in the South.

The Haynes Library in Governor's Harbour
I went to the library for free internet. This historical landmark was built by Governor William Frederick Haynes Smith in 1897 and is the oldest Government Complex on the island. The upstairs has always housed a library and the downstairs held offices, including the former official residence of the local doctor. The building has been renovated through the efforts of a civic organization called "Friends of the Library" and is once again a Public Library. The success to date is due to the commitment from the Board of Trustees, Operating Committee, volunteers and the worldwide membership. Visitors, students, and locals can visit the library and have full use of the Internet cafe and materials.
Hours of operation: Monday to Saturday 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. / Closed on Sundays and Holidays

Fishermen in Governor's Harbour
Fishermen usually appear in each major settlement around 2-3pm with their daily catch. Fresh fish right out the ocean. This is paradise to me.

Ferry Ride
There is a short 5 minute ferry ride separating North Eleuthera from Harbour Island. Harbour Island is in the background of this photo.

The New Sunset Inn Restaurant & Bar
This restaurant is located in Governor's Harbour. The view overlooking the Caribbean Sea is breathtaking. The service was attentive and the food was good.

The Cove Eleuthera
I had lunch and toured the property of The Cove Eleuthera. This property is one of the few high end/luxury resort properties on the island.

Sand Dollar Cottage in Rock Sound
This villa was very cozy. The owner Mr. Thomas Sands was very accommodating. In addition, the villa is located near area restaurants and the largest grocery store in Eleuthera. For local foods, try Sammy's Place which is not far from this villa. For rental inquires, please contact Ms. Chandra Sands or Mr. Thomas Sands at 242-334-2203.

Diving for Conch
I truly enjoyed diving for conch off Cape Eleuthera.

Fishermen in James Cistern
I am a connoisseur of fresh seafood. No matter which Family Island I visit, I am always drawn to the local fish markets and conch stands.
