Double Bay beach is on the right side and nearby Ten Bay Beach on the lower left which is the Caribbean side of Eleuthera.

The sand at Double Bay is firm and good for taking those long walks.

Have you got your snorkeling gear with you? Ok! Go around these rocks which are part of a peninsula at this southern end of Double Bay beach.
