French Leave beach is an exquisite destination that boasts of its natural beauty. Located on the Atlantic side, this beach offers a more thrilling experience with its powerful waves compared to the tranquil waters of the Bahamas Shelf. The sand on this beach is a subtle shade of pink, adding to its charm. With its vast and elongated stretch, this beach is ideal for long walks and invigorating swims in the ocean. Guests of French Leave resort can access facilities located in the middle of the beach, making it a convenient spot to unwind. However, if you're staying on the Bight side of the island, you'll need to take a golf cart to reach this stunning beach. So, while you won't be able to step out of your room and onto the beach, the journey to French Leave beach is well worth it.

This stunning beach boasts crystal-clear, azure waters that are truly breathtaking. It's easily one of my top picks on the island, and the best part is that it's never overcrowded. If you arrive early in the morning, you'll have the entire beach to yourself for hours on end. It's an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and serene escape.

Ah, another review about a beach. How original. This particular one is on the Atlantic side and apparently its beauty depends on the sea condition. Well, isn't that just fantastic. But, if you happen to be one of the lucky ones (like this reviewer and their family), and the weather and sea condition are just right, then apparently this beach will become your favorite on Eleuthera Island. How convenient.

I must say, this beach is an absolute gem, and it easily makes it to my list of top 20 beaches in the world. The pristine beauty of this place is truly mesmerizing, and the crystal-clear waters are just perfect for a refreshing dip. However, it's disappointing to see some visitors not being considerate of others. It's a shame to see some Americans bringing their furry friends unleashed on the beach, which can be bothersome to others who are trying to enjoy the serene surroundings. Nonetheless, this beach is a paradise that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.
