The story

Palmetto Point Homecoming in Palmetto Point

Palmetto Point, a settlement on Eleuthera's Caribbean coast between Governor's Harbour and Savannah Sound, holds its own homecoming week each year for residents and returning family, described by visitors as a genuinely local, lively celebration, though detailed programming and firm annual dates were not independently confirmed.

Palmetto Point sits on Eleuthera's Caribbean-facing coast, about five miles south of Governor's Harbour and four miles north of Savannah Sound, and like most settlements along that stretch of the island it holds its own annual homecoming week for residents and returning family.
