My advice is to avoid Spanish Wells. Sweet churge-going community but
absolutely nothing to do. Nothing! No restaurants worth discussing. We
stayed in a lovely house right on a fabulous beach but we got a bit bored.
Remember also that it is a dry island so you must byob.

Harbour Island, on the other hand, is adorable. More of a bahamian flair.
Terrific hotels and restaurants. Shopping, horseback riding on the beach. As
quiet as you need it to be.

Good Luck
