Lighthouse Beach
A remote pink-sand bay at the southern tip of Eleuthera, with an abandoned old lighthouse on the cliffs, a wild landscape reached by dirt road.
Lighthouse Beach lies south of Bannerman Town, at the southern tip of Eleuthera. A long pink sand beach stretches beneath limestone cliffs, and on top of the cliff stands an abandoned old lighthouse. From up there you can see the bays on both the Atlantic and Caribbean sides, a spectacular and untouched view. There is almost no man-made infrastructure here. The water is clear, good for swimming, snorkelling and picnics. The nearby coast is also home to a private island used by a large cruise line. From Bannerman Town, follow a potholed dirt road for about 4 km; a 4WD or off-road vehicle is recommended, and conditions are worse after rain. Bring your own water, food and sun protection.
