Great atmosphere throughout the resort, excellent lunch at the beach, wonderful gift shop... and beautifully landscaped grounds. We were staying elsewhere on Harbour Island, but visited Pink Sands for lunch and a beach outing -- and felt like we were in Paradise! The staff was very sweet and accommodating and we all had a great time.

This is a wonderful beach and lovely for swimming, which is rare in an Atlantic beach as you will know if you have spent time on Eleuthera. We stayed at Runaway Hill and as they are located right on this beach we had access to the beach chairs in front of the hotel. I think this is one of the... More

We visited Harbour island for the day taking a water taxi out of north Eleuthera. $4 one way and we rented golf cart for $40 for day. Not much shopping on this island but the beach is beautiful and then lunch right on the beach. If you want you can rent lounge chairs with an umbrella, 2 chairs and umbrella... More

beautiful long stretch of beach for walking in cool soft sand, playing in gentle waves, or cooling off with a swim or snorkel in the nearby reef.

It is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The pink sand is like silk, and the wide beach gives you a lot of room to spread out and soak up the sun.

Nice waves, soft sand, no rocks, quiet, lots of adorable places to have lunch (i.e. Sip Sip, Runaway Inn, Coral Sands)

This beach is great for a family outing. The waves are usually just big enough for the kids to have a great time and occasionally get knocked down but not hurt. The beach is long and great for a stroll. You'd be crazy to miss this place. Access is from a few public beach accesses or private villa and hotel.

It's as beautiful as people tell you and so flat and walkable that we walked the entire thing: one side one day and the other another day. Next time we'll make sure to hit the beach earlier in the day as the sun goes behind the bluff above the beach in the afternoon.

I would go for a long run on the beach each morning with just a few other hardy souls and then come back later with the family for some relaxation and swimming. The beach is about 2.5 miles long.
