One of the hidden and hardly reachable, but recently very popular places is Harbour Island beach.

Harbour Island is one of the islands which  form the Bahamas. Harbour Island is located on the north from the Eleuthera Island. The capital, and the only town on the island is Dunmore Town.

The island is accessible by plane to North Eleuthera and then with water taxi to Harbour Island.

The unique thing about Harbour Island beach is a perfect pink sand which can not be found anywhere else in the world.
