Island Hoppers - Did anybody catch the Island Hoppers Eluthura episode with Lance O? Well I did and that surfers beach looks really fun. Choppy or not uncrowded beautifull warm water waves. I'll be going in November with my lady, looks like we'll stay at surfers manor. I have 2 questions I hope somebody can help me with. Where can i rent a bad ass dune buggy like the one i saw on the show. And is there anything to do at night, Bars?

Eleuthera - Responding to the last comment... If you're staying near Surfer's Beach, you can go to a bar called Elvina's at night. Not much else than that for going out. Or, you can just buy a few beers and hang out at your hotel... more relaxing. As for renting a dune buggy... If someone has one, chances are they'll rent it to you... I have never seen one there, though. Instead, you can show up to the airport and rent someone's car. No forms to fill out, no credit cards, no insurance... just 60-80 dollars a day cash, and you drive it away. Hope you catch waves. Have fun. Check out how big the waves were this past March by going to youtube and searching for Eleuthera and Waves... hug bombs that were unsurfable.
