Major's Air (242 352 5778) has direct flights from Freeport (Grand Bahama) to Governor's Harbour on friday and sunday. For further information see where is Eleuthera?. From Governors Harbor Airport drive south along Queens Highway to Governors Harbour (about 15 minutes) and then continue south to the crossroads in Palmetto Point where you will see Sands Store. Turn left here (i.e. East) into North Palmetto Point, and continue till you arrive at a T-junction, under an immense 150 year old silk cotton tree (there is an even bigger one in the settlement), where you should turn right (i.e.south). This is Bank Road, also known as North Drive. Continue past the turn off to Unique Village Hotel and Restaurant. Soon the road will degenerate to a sandy track. Continue past various houses (Kokomo, Roundhouse, Tropical Impulse, Ocean Palm, Atlantic Blues) and you will suddenly arrive at a dramatic view of the Ocean you have arrived! You can also take the "scenic route" from Governors Harbor, by turning left up the hill at Pyfroms Liquor Store and continuing over to the Atlantic side, then turning south onto the Bank Road, which eventually reaches North Palmetto Point and the silk cotton tree. |
