Spanish Wells is the town on small St. George's Cay, just off the northwest coast of Eleuthera. A small bridge connects Spanish Wells, Eleuthera to its closest neighbour, Russell Island, Eleuthera. The population of these cays is predominantly white native Bahamians (many of which are descendants of the first British settlers from the 1600's or Loyalists from the 1700's). Spanish Wells Bahamas is a neat and clean little town with most homes sporting a fresh coat of pastel paint, a real island getaway. Locals leave their doors unlocked; in this small, tight-knit community, crime is nonexistent. The local language is English, spoken with a somewhat British accent.
Spanish Wells is reminiscent of an idyllic Cape Cod fishing village with swaying coconut palm trees and bright bougainvillea as background. Winding little roads lead a visitor around brightly painted cottages sporting gables and wooden shutters. One can walk around the island, wade for sand dollars on the north beach, purchase the fresh catch of the day from local fishermen, and browse the centuries-old village. Spanish Wells is prosperous, clean, safe, and beautiful, and real estate in Spanish Wells has been shown to be an excellent investment.
Many of the people in Spanish Wells earn their living from the sea. These fishermen have the best reputation in the entire Bahamas for their skill at catching crawfish (spiny lobsters). Spanish Wells is known as the fishing capital of the Bahamas, and this little island exports more lobsters than all the rest of the Bahamas combined.
Spanish Wells has beautiful pink and white sand beaches, and water so clear that you can see your shadow on the bottom. Stretching from Spanish Wells to the northeast tip of mainland Eleuthera is a beautiful barrier reef called the Devil's Backbone which is inhabited with an abundance of marine life. This area is fantastic for snorkelers, and fishermen usually find that grouper and snapper are plentiful in this area. One mile off shore, there's great sport fishing. There's world-class bone fishing on the flats surrounding the island. Boat rentals, golf cart rentals, bicycle rentals, fishing charters, snorkeling trips, cave tours, "x-rated" picnic trips to uninhabited islands or beaches, and trips to nearby islands (such as Harbour Island) are available.

What our guests are saying:
"Can't say enough good things about Capt. Smiley and our snorkeling trip with him. He got a big cooler filled with ice & drinks, we brought along some lunch and snacks, and so began one of the best days ever. We went swimming with the pigs (amazing fun). We went to Egg Island and saw beautiful colorful marine life in really shallow water that the kids could really enjoy. We boated to other islands and beaches, had a beach picnic, found some conch, sand dollars, and amazing shells, snorkeled in beautiful sea gardens, and a couple of us were brave enough to jump off a cliff! I could go on and on, but shan't. We will definitely hook up with Captain Smiley again when we return to Spanish Wells." Michael Goodroe, CA, USA.
“We loved our day away with Captains Ron & Smiley! They took us to deserted beaches, amazingly beautiful reefs, and we even caught a bunch of nice snappers for dinner! They hooked fish for the youngsters and let them reel them in. They were very patient and accommodating. We saw beautiful starfish, a huge ray, many beautiful fish, and as we were going back to the dock at the end of a great day, we saw a group of dolphins - with mamas and babies. Wow what a day! I highly recommend a day away with Spanish Wells SeaVentures. It was the highlight of our trip!" Lorna Palowski, NC, USA.
“We had a great time exploring North Eleuthera with Capt. Scuba. Historic Preacher’s Cave, other hidden caves, a magnificent blue hole, the truly amazing Glass Window Bridge, Queen’s Bath, and he took us to pick fresh mangoes from his farms – delicious! He’s very knowledgeable about the area having grown up “in the bush”! On a different day Capt. Scuba took us spear fishing. (He’s a local commercial lobster diver when he’s not doing tours and fishing trips for folks like us.) We caught groupers, snappers, lobsters, and other fish on which all 5 of us feasted for days. All in all we had two great days with Capt. Scuba.” Mary Monnaco, FL, USA

"If asked to name a place in the Bahamas where pioneer blood is most concentrated, one would have to say Spanish Wells. Few Loyalists were attracted there, and the physical features of the all-white population reflect those of the Eleutheran Adventurers who waded ashore, a few miles away, three and a quarter centuries ago.
There is absolutely nothing like Spanish Wells in all the Bahamas today. A town of exquisite cleanness and beauty nestles beside a harbour which is a beehive of maritime activity. The fishing fleet, headquartered there, is the finest in the nation. Tourism has come to the island but plays a minor role. The 1,600 people who live there have raised themselves to a prosperous level by applying hard work to the oldest and most basic of Bahamian industries, fishing and farming." - The Story of the Bahamas
Spanish Wells/Russell Island is proud of its privately run electricity company. Spanish Wells/Russell Island has a steady supply of electricity unlike other areas of the Bahamas that rely on the government electricity company and are used to frequent brown outs or black outs.
The local Bahamian residents of Spanish Wells number about 1600. Many Spanish Wells locals have married persons from Nassau, Abaco, mainland Eleuthera, Harbour Island, the United States, and Europe who all now call Spanish Wells or Russell Island their home. There are also a significant number of Americans, Canadians, and Europeans that own winter homes and vacation cottages in Spanish Wells or Russell Island, and a small but growing number have decided to reside in Paradise year round. All love the traditional small town fishing village atmosphere of Spanish Wells and strive to keep it that way.
