The Best of Bahamas Tourism Information at your door step...

Eleuthera is not known for gambling, shopping or amusement parks. What it is known for is its natural beauty and serenity. Anyone who has been there will attest to that. If you like the color of a turquoise blue ocean, pink sands, shock blue skies, warm weather and cool breezes, Eleuthera Island is the place for you. Eleuthera Island was founded in 1648 and is the birth place of the Bahamas. Captain William Sayles and a group of Puritans sailed from Bermuda in search of religious freedom. Along the way, they found this beautiful gem of an island and named it Eleuthera. From the Greek word "eleuthero" or "eleuther", Eleuthera means "free" or "freedom." You can still get a feel what the founders felt when you visit the island. Eleuthera has that unspoiled and untamed feel about it.
