Rock Sound, Bahamas


Rock Sound is a diverse settlement, rapidly becoming the next "Staniel Cay" or "George Town" of Eleuthera. With fast ferry service now available from Nassau, this community has been spruced up and is a pleasure to visit and stay awhile.
The dinghy dock at Frigate's Bar & Grill is the preferred cruiser landing here. From there, it's an easy walk to the supermarket and hardware store. There's a brand-new government dock, and provisions and restaurants are all conveniently grouped around the somewhat protected harbor.

Governor's Harbour is the capital of Eleuthera and the center of commerce and government business offices for the district. The first seat of government was established here, and it is one of the most attractive, long-established communities in the Bahamas. It is the largest town on the island, with pretty Victorian-era houses overlooking the harbor from Buccaneer Hill.
