Water sports in Harbour Island Bahamas

tourists lounge at Harbour Island MarinaJust about anything you want to do in the water is available in Harbour Island. The 3-mile pink sand beach on the Atlantic side is buffered by a reef that makes swimming especially inviting. Several uninhabited islands within an hour offer perfect spots for fantasy picnics.

And for scuba buffs, the world famous Current Cut off neighboring
Eleuthera offers one of the world’s best spots for a high-speed drift dive. Of course for some folks, the favored water sport is shown in this photo, taken at Harbour Island Marina.

Boatmen and rentals

experienced boaters of Harbour islandThe island has several experienced local boatmen eager to share their knowledge of the delights of local waters. Ask at the dock for Reggie Johnson, “Uncle Sam” Higgs, or Big Red.

Bonefishing

The inedible but energetic bonefish is considered one of the world’s best sport fishes, and the shallow waters off Harbour Island offer some of the best environments for matching wits with them.  Stop to talk to Vincent, Stewart, or Stanley Johnson. Some of these guides may be booked up a year in advance.

 

Swim with the Pigs!

Pigs swim near Spanish Wells, an island just a short boat ride from Harbour Island. Several guides offer excursions that let you swim with these cuties. Try Bahamas Ocean Safaris.
