Spanish Wells

Spanish Wells is a beautiful little island on the North end of the Eleuthera Islands some 65 miles East of the Berry Islands.  This Island  is very quaint with well manicured yards and brightly colored homes.  The people are helpful, polite and very friendly.  Many businesses are run out of people's homes such as the bait shop and ice cream parlor. We rented a golf cart and checked out this Island as well as Russel Island.  The Sandbar, Buddha, and Shipwreck Bar and Grill were unique and a lot of fun.

Spanish Wells primary industry is fishing for Stone Crab and Spinney Lobster.  Red Lobster is their primary customer. We ask to buy Stone Crab off the boat, but they couldn't sell it to us.  An hour latter one of the fisherman came up to us and gave us about 6 lbs. of Stone Crab!!! This a must stop when doing the Bahamas.
