French Leave Beach
A long strip of pale pink sand on the Atlantic side of Governor's Harbour, the former site of a Club Med resort, wide and quiet, and the most popular beach in central Eleuthera.
French Leave Beach lies on the Atlantic side of Governor's Harbour, a few minutes' drive east of the town centre over a small hill. The several-kilometre-long beach has a faint pink tint. Offshore reefs soften the waves, the water is clear, and it's good for swimming and walking. The beach was once home to a Club Med resort, which has since been demolished, leaving wide, uncrowded sand and a beach bar near the entrance. Admission is free. You can drive or walk about 15 minutes from town. Rip currents sometimes form on the Atlantic side, so check conditions before going in.
