Harbour Island, Bahamas

The standard mode of transportation for visitors and locals alike, a golf cart is the best way to get around Harbour Island, which is just over three miles from end to end. Make your way to one of the island’s renowned restaurants for exquisite cuisine, exceptional wines and fantastic views of the azure seas. The former Bahamian capital has colonial architecture painted in lovely pastels and framed by towering palm trees begging to be photographed. Still, the more than two miles of pink sand beaches are the biggest draw of Harbour Island — Briland to those in the know — and there is never a shortage of chaise lounges. A chartered boat will transport you to outlying reefs, where you can snorkel in the warm, crystal clear waters.
