Pink Sand on Harbour Island

There’s a particular stillness to Harbour Island when the light settles just right. The pale sand — famous for its soft pink hue — stretches cleanly along the shore, framed by low greenery and a single palm leaning toward the sea. The water shifts from light turquoise to deeper blue in long, horizontal bands, the kind of calm that makes the Atlantic feel almost unreal.

Caribbean Journal reader Bob Fields’ image captures Harbour Island at its most elemental. No boats cutting across the horizon. No crowds. Just the beach, the water, and the scale of the sky — a reminder of why this small Bahamian island continues to define the idea of a Caribbean beach for so many travelers.

Harbour Island has long been known for this contrast: refined and intimate, yet completely shaped by nature. In this photograph, the island’s beauty isn’t staged or dramatic. It’s quiet, balanced, and unmistakably Bahamian.
