French Leave Beach
This beach is known to some as Club Med Beach due to it being the location of a Club Med Resort prior
to its destruction by Hurricane Floyd in 1999. The beach consists of over a mile of pink-tinged sand ideal
for beach combing. Swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing are also ways to pass the time.
PlaceS of Interest
Pink Sands Beach
On the eastern, Atlantic side of Harbour Island is the Bahamas’ three mile long beach well-known
for its pink sands which in places are 100 feet wide. Foraminifera, microscopic coral insects are
responsible for the sand’s hue and they also play a large role in the marine food chain. Although
the beach is bathed by the warm Caribbean sunshine, its pink sands are always cool, making a
barefoot walk, pleasantly comfortable.
