Balcony House

The oldest wooden structure on the island, built in the 18th century.

Reviewed By MammaBear60 - Warkworth, Canada

My husbad and I had the tour guide to ourselves about an hour before closing time. She was very thorough and informative. Definitely worth a visit as we love buildings that show how people lived decades ago, and we happily made a donation.

Tarpum Bay

Small, picturesque town overlooking the waterfront, populated by artists and more than a couple goats. Clean attractive and well appointed cottage. Wifi and cable tv included.

The last time I saw swings in the water was 4 years ago in Great Exuma, Bahamas at Coco Plum Beach so needless to stay I had to stop at Tarpum Bay :) look at that water, it's Bahamas, it doesn't get any better. The swings have seen better days but it's an absolute blast to stop here even for a few minutes just to enjoy these views - check out the area as there some great views here not only at the swings but if you continue off the main road and stay along the shore - we loved it! We drove here from Governor's Harbour area on the way to Rock Sound - the drive is very pleasant and pretty relaxing/scenic for the most part so I highly recommended to anyone who likes to explore on their vacation :) TIP: we were on the way for lunch to Rock Sound but I wish we had more time and days to give any of the local spots here a shot, especially the one literally across from the swings looked very inviting - it might have been the BaySide View one, looked pretty new and very inviting!

Concrete ship originally built by Henry Ford during WWI, now an upright wreck in 14 feet of water.

This is not your typical wreck dive. My first over/under wreck. Lots of sea life around. Loved it. Highly recommend doing it with Neal Watson.

Eleuthera Island Farm

Reviewed By renee457 - Washington DC, United States

We stayed in Governors Harbor and this spot was a regular stop for us to load up on fresh produce - butter lettuce, spinach, arugula, zucchini, cukes, potatoes and more. We also tried the fresh baked goods on Tues and Fri morning - really GREAT cinnamon buns reasonably priced, and a beautiful selection of fresh baked bread. They also sell homemade salsa and hot sauce, selection of fresh cheeses, coffee, plus a gift shop with spirits, tshirts, photo books and other gift items. They also sell the Geographix map set of Eleuthera that contains labeled snorkeling spots and beaches that can be hard to find without directions or a map.

The Cloisters Nassau

Reviewed By LairdDoug - St. Andrews, United Kingdom

A lovely spot away from the hustle and bustle of Atlantis on the way to the Ocean Club Golf Course and very close to The Ocean Club hotel. Worth a walk around the place and down to the water.
