ELEUTHERA

Eleuthera: Known for Beaches, Some Known, Some Not.....

Sure, there are plenty of well-know beaches in Eleuthera; Pink Sand Beach in Harbour Island, Club Med Beach in Governors Harbour, Ten Bay Beach in South Palmetto Point, Lighthouse Beach in Bannerman Town. But there are some other beaches, especially in the south part of the island that are, basically, unknown but to a few. Some don't even have names; some do, such as Jack's Bay, but, if you take a desolate dirt road, especially from the Atlantic side of the island, you will frequently come upon a breathtaking beach, with nary a soul in sight.

So, next time in Eleuthera, explore the southern part of the island, and take a left on just about any dirt road; you may be surprised. Check out the known beaches HERE

ELEUTHERA AMBULANCE FUND RAISER AT SKY BEACH A SUCCESS

More than $18,000 was raised for the ambulance fund at Sky Beach Resort in late December.

All proceeds will benefit the Health Association of Central Eleuthera (HACE) which owns and operates the ambulance on Eleuthera. HACE is raising $35,000 to buy a new ambulance. Ticket sales and auction proceeds will go 100% to HACE. The food and open bar have been donated by The Bistro at Sky Beach Club.

From Chris Gosling, head of the Ambulance Crew:

"Just to let everyone know that the approximate amount raised last Sunday at Sky Beach was almost $18000. A big thank you to everyone who supported this event and in particular the management of Sky Beach who donated the use of the premises, drinks and food. We are almost in a position to look for a new ambulance.Donations can still be made through Pay Pay at www.ambulancefund.com, or directly to our account in the Governors Harbour branch of First Caribbean.
