Windermere Island is a small island in The Bahamas, off the coast of Eleuthera. The two islands are connected by a bridge.
The island is approximately 5.5 miles (8.9 kilometers) long. The bridge was built by Lord Trefgarne, who was the former owner of the island.
The adjoining waters and flats of Savannah Sound are a popular bonefishing location, and Windermere's 5-mile-long beach is protected by a 5-mile-long (8 kilometers) reef that is rich in fish and underwater flora. It is also located in the same bay as Camp Bahamas. There are numerous animals around the island, including sand crabs and whale sharks.
