Eleuthera Island
Bahama's Out Islands have no resorts, no cruise ships, and no
large crowds. Eleuthera, which stretches for almost 100 miles
(161km) but is at most two miles (3km) wide, is the most popular of
the group. Eleuthera, and especially its satellite, Harbour Island,
just a short water-taxi ride away, have long been the holiday
haunts of the fashionable set, sporting luxury hotels and fine
restaurants that cater for trendy and wealthy visitors. The main
entertainment here is sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling,
shell-collecting and fishing. The scenery can be enjoyed through a
meander along the coast, passing scenic headlands and wandering
through villages dotted between dozens of pristine beaches.
Information & Facts
Language
English is the official language in the
Bahamas.
Money
The official currency is the Bahamian Dollar (BSD), which is
divided into 100 cents. The Bahamian Dollar is equal in value to
the US Dollar and both currencies are accepted throughout the
islands. Currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
many hotels. There are ATMs in the main tourist centres and credit
and debit cards are widely accepted in all the big resorts.
Travellers cheques can be changed at all banks, although those in
US Dollars receive the best rates. Banks tend to be open from
9.30am to 3pm (Monday to Thursday) and 9.30am to 5pm (Fridays).
Time
Local time in the Bahamas is GMT -5 (GMT -4 from first Sunday
in April till last Sunday in October).
