Spanish Wells, Bahamas Pink sand, clear waters and friendly people

Located on the small island of St. George's Cay, Spanish Wells has a rich history.  Settled by Loyalists and Eleutheran Adventures over 300 years ago, the friendly inhabitants still maintain some of their English heritage in speech and manner.  Only 1 1/2 miles by 1/2 mile wide, it still has room for over 1500 residents, 400+ cars and more than 100 golf carts (as optional transportation).  The island is not a tourist destination but rather a working island where the main industry is fishing for the Spiny Lobster. Access to the island is via boat, either  private yacht, water taxi from nearby North Eluethera, the fast ferry from Nassau and Harbour Island or the "Eleuthera Express", a 140 foot freighter that plys the water to and from some of the nearby islands and Nassau.
