Windermere Island

Windermere Island

Windermere Island is an island located in The Bahamas which about five miles long and is noted for its beaches. It is connected to Eleuthera by a short bridge protected by a guardhouse. The Island is private and only accessible to homeowners as well as guests and is renowned as a private retreat for people from all over the world. The adjoining waters and flats of Savannah Sound are considered to be a premier bonefishing location. Although seldom mentioned in articles and guidebooks, Windermere's five-mile long beach is protected by a five mile long reef which is rich in fish and underwater flora, the beach was considered by Jacques-Yves Cousteau to be one the two most beautiful in the world.

The island is populated with private homes and the Club at Windermere, a private club offering a restaurant, tennis courts, and a swimming pool. Diana Princess of Wales holidayed in one of the houses, and enjoyed the beach in Savannah Sound from where a member of the paparazzi snapped the infamous picture of a pregnant Princess in a swimsuit.
