Thinking of ditching your Disney itinerary for something a little more…barefoot? 

In this episode, we’re trading Lightning Lane stress for pink sand and seashells in Eleuthera, Bahamas—aka the dreamy, no-schedule-needed spot that’s become my family’s not-so-secret escape.

This island has become one of our most treasured places outside of Disney World, and I have a feeling it could be that for you, too. 

This episode is your go-to guide for planning family vacations to the Bahamas—but make it chill, make it low-key, and make it magical by trying out Eleuthera over the popular tourist spots. 

In this episode, I’m covering:

  • How to actually get to Eleuthera, Bahamas with kids (hint: it involves at least two planes)
  • Where to stay for your Bahamas family vacation so you’re never too far from a pristine beach.
  • What makes family vacations to the Bahamas actually fun with littles—10 things to do that won’t leave you overwhelmed
  • Answers to “is Eleuthera safe?” and other FAQs I get all the time.
  • Everything you didn’t know you needed to pack for Bahamas with kids.

And yes, I’m also revealing where to find the cutest library, the calmest beach, and the best boba spot on Eleuthera, Bahamas (that my 8-year-old now considers sacred ground).

So if you’re craving a Bahamas family vacation—this episode might be just the step in the right direction.
