For a first visit specifically centered on Tarpum Bay, this is the only base with an actual village experience: the colorful buildings, waterside Anglican church and fishing docks are walkable from one another. It is not the most serviced base on Eleuthera—Governor’s Harbour has more dining and lodging choice—but Tarpum Bay Village best delivers the reason to come here. Rent a car; the rest of Eleuthera is not realistically accessible on foot or by urban transit.
