Harbour Island is an island and administrative district in the Bahamas and is located off the northeast coast of Eleuthera Island. It is part of the Out Islands of the Bahamas.
The island is filled with colourful, English Colonial-style buildings and flower lined streets. The only town on the island is Dunmore Town, named after the governor of the Bahamas from 1786 to 1798, John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, who had a summer residence on Harbour Island.
Harbour Island is famous for its pink sand beaches, which are found all along the east side of the island. The pink hue comes from foraminifera, a microscopic organism that actually has a reddish-pink shell.
In the middle 1960s, the American actor Brett King and his wife, Sharon, established the Coral Sands Hotel in Harbour Island.
