Club Med Eleuthera Beach Is...
Long, Wide and Nicely Shaded

- Updated January, 2008 -

Most buildings of Club Med Eleuthera were destroyed by Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Yet, its beach is just as attractive as it ever was. And believe me, of all the beaches in Central Eleuthera, Club Med beach is certainly the best. Why?...

First, you are there within 5 minutes from Governor's Harbour.

And even though it is an Atlantic side beach, the water stays fairly calm and the waves are gentle.

The bottom of Club Med beach is sandy and remains shallow for a good distance.

On really hot days you'll appreciate the large casuarina trees shading the beach during afternoons.

You won't find a bar here, well, not yet. So be sure to keep enough drinking water ready.

After having enjoyed the beach, you could go to Tippy's bar - a little over a mile south from here - for something more attractive than water!

You probably won't have all of the beach to yourself as it is quite a popular one. And there are a few houses along the shoreline. But Club Med Eleuthera beach is sooo long and wide...

Club Med Eleuthera beach is also excellent for body surfing as an offshore reef keeps the surf mellow.

Just imagine walking here barefoot in an inch deep mirror of crystal clear, warm water...

And how do you like the aerial shot of Club Med beach below?

The former Club Med site is visible in the center of the above photo.

Just like at the south end, there's a rocky area here for snorkeling which is only a few steps to the left in the above photo.

But, remember to pick a calm day to get the most enjoyment out of your snorkeling experience for the Atlantic side of Eleuthera is always rougher than the Caribbean side.

New Resort French Leave...
Replacing Club Med Eleuthera

Five years after a storm had damaged Club Med Eleuthera, all its old buildings were taken down in the Summer of 2004.

An American investor is starting a New Project called "French Leave" on the old premises, taking advantage of the beautiful landscaping of the former Club Med.

Construction of the French Leave Resort has not started yet (Jan. 2008). Once it does, I'll report it here.

From Governor's Harbour to Club Med Beach

Now here's a nice little map that will help you to find the beach without any problems. It might be a good idea to print out this whole page and use it as your tour guide.
