Most people land in Nassau and assume they've arrived. They haven't. The Bahamas that rewards the well-traveled visitor is a forty-minute ferry ride northeast, on a three-mile sliver of island called Harbour Island that runs on golf carts.
The town of Dunmore, which is the oldest settlement in the Bahamas, covers the western shore in colonial pastel architecture that has changed almost nothing at all in two centuries. The best luxury resorts in the Bahamas have found their footing here exactly for that reason.
After enjoying the quiet of Dunmore, don't forget to cross to the eastern shore and visit Pink Sand Beach. As its name implies, it shimmers in a shade of pale rose and coral that comes from crushed Foraminifera shells mixed into the sand. And that's not a filter or a travel magazine exaggeration. It just naturally looks like that.
The beach and the town together make the case. One is a place to return to at the end of the day. The other is the reason you came.
