Governor's Harbour
The island's administrative centre, where colourful Victorian houses on the hillside overlook the harbour, and the Friday night Fish Fry is lively.
Governor's Harbour is Eleuthera's administrative centre and second-largest settlement. It is considered one of the first places settled by Puritan adventurers in 1648. The town spreads up the hillside above the harbour, with 19th-century colourful Victorian houses, colonial-era churches and the old Haynes Library. Cupid's Cay, linked by a small causeway, was the earliest settlement. Every Friday evening, the Friday Fish Fry takes place by the harbour, where locals and visitors share fried fish and listen to music. The town has a bank, a supermarket and restaurants, making it a good base for the central island. French Leave Beach on the Atlantic side is just a few minutes' drive away.
