Current trends: Harbour Island continues to attract a discreet, design-conscious crowd drawn to The Dunmore's oceanfront cottages and Pink Sands Resort's private-garden villas, while Dunmore Town's small-scale culinary scene, from Queen Conch's tableside conch salad to Rock House's harbor-view fusion dining, reinforces the island's identity as a boutique alternative to Nassau's larger resort footprint.

Dunmore Town — The island's historic colonial-era town, home to Arthur's Bakery, Queen Conch, and Rock House Restaurant.
