Pineapple
For centuries, Gregory Town — on the wild isle of Eleuthera — has grown some of the world’s sweetest pineapples (Bahamians refer to the fruit as ‘sugar loaf’). Take a day trip here from Harbour Island, getting a selfie with the town’s pineapple monument, then scoffing pineapple upside-down cakes from Cravings Bake Shop. facebook.com/cravingsbake
Goombay smash
Dangerously drinkable, this potent cocktail is made from white, gold, coconut and dark rums, plus orange and pineapple juices. While it’s served all across the island, make sure you try the versions served up on pink-sand Harbour Island. The finest is at The Dunmore hotel, where it’s so popular the bartenders prepare it by the jugful. dunmorebeach.com
