To know about the history of the island, you can visit the Old Library, which also has valuable information on the various attractions of the island. Do not forget to visit the Wesley Methodist Church that has been wonderfully restored after it was hit by a hurricane. For snorkeling, you can drive to the nearby Buccaneer Public Beaches. The abundance of flora and fauna found under water here is simply mind-boggling. About a kilometer from Governor's Harbour is the beautiful beach of French Leave where pale pinkish sand covers the entire beach. This is the most suitable place for bodysurfing. The superb Eleuthera-Island-Shores is easily accessible from here. For Governors accommodation, you do not need to worry as there are a variety of vacation rental properties for the holidaymakers.
Governor's Harbour has a few restaurants where you will get some delicious conch and fish dishes. Shopping options are limited over here. There is only a nice grocery store near the Shell Station. Booking Governors vacation homes will be truly delightful during the annual Governor’s Harbour Homecoming Festival that is celebrated with much revelry, fun and fervor by the locals accompanied by live band performances, games, and Junakoo.
