A Day at Pink Sands

Morning

Step onto the famous pink-sand beach as the early sun casts a soft pastel glow across the shoreline. Enjoy breakfast in a breezy pavilion—just-baked bread, fresh fruit, and the scent of salt carried by the wind.

Afternoon

Spend hours swimming in warm turquoise water, walking barefoot along the powdery sand, or relaxing beneath palms in your private bungalow. Explore Dunmore Town by golf cart or paddle along the coastline in calm, clear water.

As the sky fades from coral to deep violet, dine on island-inspired dishes with the Atlantic just steps away. Soft lighting and the glow of lanterns create a dreamy ambiance unique to Harbour Island.

Night

Return to your cottage, where wooden textures, natural fabrics, and cool ocean breezes shape a peaceful night’s rest.
