Eleuthera, the jewel of the Bahamas, is located about 80 kilometers east of the capital, Nassau, and is known for its unique "pink sand" beaches and tranquil island atmosphere. The island's elongated, meandering coastline is flanked by the rough waves of the Atlantic Ocean and calm pink sandy beaches, including Hubble Island, which has become a global destination due to its pink sandy beaches washed by seawater containing coral fragments. Not only does it boast world-class dive sites such as wreck diving and coral reef exploration, but it also retains its pristine natural beauty - low scrub, crystal clear blue holes such as the Lund Blue Hole, and a friendly local community. Away from the hustle and bustle for those seeking privacy and luxury, Eleuthera Island is dotted with boutique resorts, beachfront villas, fresh seafood cuisine and traditional Bahamian music culture, making it ideal for honeymoons, diving adventures and relaxation.

Nestled in the mountains, the town boasts a tranquil bay with a charming Caribbean flavor that attracts history buffs and tourists alike to explore each year. Codrington is also an important part of the Antigua Cultural Festival, where local residents showcase their unique culture through traditional music, dance and crafts, making it an excellent window into the history and culture of Antigua and Barbuda.
