Eleuthera Snorkeling Highlights

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel
  • Embrace your inner thrill seeker. Devil's Backbone, off the north border, is a shallow reef replete with colorful fish and coral.
  • Find the Bahamas' best on the west side of the island. Current Cut is a major feeding ground for marine life.
  • Launch your snorkeling adventure from a number of beaches, but avoid dangerous reefs and tricky tides at Tay Bay and Lighthouse.
  • Stay awhile—day-long snorkeling trips cost about US$45 per person, gear included.

Eleuthera Overview

A sort of Bahamian Plymouth Rock, Eleuthera Island was the first permanent settlement in The Bahamas, founded in 1648. A search for religious freedom drew the Eleutherian Adventurers from Bermuda here, to the "birthplace of The Bahamas." The long narrow island they discovered and colonized still bears the name "Eleuthera" -- Greek for freedom. The locals call it "Cigatoo."
