*********** ESCAPE TO PARADISE **************:
Caribbean ice cream colours. Shady verandas, hibiscus and bougainvillea, the ever-present blue-green ocean ... adding to the charm, golf carts and bicycles - perfect for a town that frowns on cars and high rises! It's no wonder sophisticated travellers who discover this unspoiled island paradise come back year after year to enjoy its intoxicating atmosphere.
Harbour Island is the right place if you::
Have a soft place in your heart for small town life -
Have a family that can entertain itself -
Could eat peas n' rice three times a week - or don't mind paying very high prices to avoid it.
Like small hotels that range from casual to elegant but absolutely never bustle -
Think the local Junkanoo parade is as close as you want to get to Las Vegas style entertainment -
Like having total strangers greet you on the street -
Think nightlife is more interesting when you mix with the locals -
Are glad you can't find a copy of 'USA Today' or the 'WSJ' anywhere -
Appreciate that a thorough island tour is best conducted on foot -
Think it's fun when the power goes out -
Love snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, boating, or fishing -
Can handle the flight home leaving an hour or more late due to sudden bad weather -
Can be philosophical about all the changes that inevitably come with growth to a place such as this.
