Harbour Island’s beaches are public, meaning visitors are free to set up their towels almost anywhere along the island’s stunning 3.5-mile Pink Sand Beach. These iconic pink sand beaches are the island’s main attraction, offering plenty of space for everyone to enjoy.
However, visitors should respect areas where hotels or private homes have set up chairs, loungers, tiki huts, or umbrellas for their guests. Sitting on or using these setups without permission is considered highly disrespectful and could result in being asked to move by hotel staff—or, in some cases, by security or local authorities.
If you prefer more comfort, you’ll find that several beach businesses actively rent lounge chairs and umbrellas to the public. Additionally, the largest concentration of these rental services sits between Coral Sands Hotel and Pink Sands Resort, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy Harbour Island Beaches with convenient access to added amenities.
