Pink Sands Resort

On Harbour Island in the Bahamas, stay in one of the 25 pastel cottages in lush, tropical surroundings, enjoy three miles of pink-sand beach, access to a fresh-water swimming pool, and tennis courts. The one- and two-bedroom accommodations offer ocean and garden views and private patios with lounge-worthy teak furniture. Dine waterside on fresh conch, local stone crab, tiger shrimp, lionfish, and grouper at the Blue Bar or in the Garden Terrace restaurant.

Don't miss: Go birding in this Audubon-approved bird sanctuary. Bring your binoculars, and enjoy sighting many feathered friends--including that local favorite, the colorful Bahamas parrot.
