Eleuthera , Caribbean Jet Charters

Eleuthera jet charter information

An island of casual sophistication, Eleuthera is part of the Bahamas archipelago. This long, thin island offers a perfect Caribbean escape. It features isolated communities, well-developed resorts, rocky bluffs, low-lying wetlands and massive coral reefs, perfect for diving. The fourth most populated island of the Bahamas, most of Eleuthera’s 11,000 residents that are not involved in the tourism industry either fish or farm the island’s biggest export. Said to produce some of the sweetest pineapples in the world, Eleuthera’s pineapple farming industry began in and around Gregory Town in the 18^th century when British Loyalists began to settle on the island. However, major exportation did not happen until the 1800s, with the opening of the first canning factory in Governor’s Harbor. The British influence can also be found in the quaint colonial-style buildings and white columned homes that line Eleuthera’s narrow streets.

Nearby is French Leave Beach, which is known for its turquoise waters and pink-tinged sand caused by thousands of broken colourful shells and coral pieces. It offers a secluded respite and is home to one of the island’s many vacation resorts. One of the best beaches to spot marine life is Twin Cove Beach, where you can beachcomb, snorkel and swim in reef protected waters. Those looking to get away from the beach for a morning or afternoon can visit the Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve, which offers a nature walk to see protected plant species and some of the island’s colourful birds.
