DISCOVER NORTH PALMETTO POINT

North Palmetto Point Vacation Rentals

Located five miles south of Governor's Harbour and four miles north of Savannah Sound, North Palmetto Point, located on the eastern or Atlantic side of the island, is a very active and populous residential community by Eleuthera standard. It has a lot of commerce including restaurants, several well stocked small markets, churches, gas stations, bars, and several really good take-aways along with many other local businesses that are frequented by the owners of the numerous vacation rentals in this area. The coastline is home to several really nice long beaches from Between the Rocks at its southern end all the way to French Leave to the north, which runs all the way to Governor's Harbour along the coastal road known as the Bank's Road. That is where you'll find most of the rental properties. They run from small cottages to very large multi-family properties.

Because of it's outstanding central location, gorgeous beaches, and proximity to commerce, it is a popular choice for vacationers, especially first timers. You can still have all the privacy you want at your beachfront rental with the added convenience of being close to stores and restaurants. Because North Palmetto is central it's also a good place to day trip both north and south to the natural heritage sites on the island.

North Palmetto Point is not solely a place for vacationers, however, as the area between the Bank's Road and the Queen's Highway is inhabited by many Bahamians. This has the added benefit of being culturally interesting and gives vacationers the chance to meet locals, experience the friendliness of the people and learn about what life is like living on the island. Finally, at the end of the T junction where Church Street meets the Bank's Road there is a very large banyan tree. Because of its immense size it's an excellent place to snap a vacation photo.
