Harbour Island is an island and administrative district in the Bahamas located off the northeast coast of Eleuthera Island. Harbour Island, Jacobs Island, Man Island, Pierre Island and others form what looks like a reef that encloses the east and north sides of a lagoon in the northeast corner of Eleuthera.
It has a population of 1,762 (2010 census).[2] The only town on the island is Dunmore Town, named after the governor of the Bahamas from 1786 to 1798, John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, who had a summer residence on Harbour Island.
