TARPUM BAY is a settlement on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. Fishing and maritime activities have been vital to the place since it was first inhabited. The water itself is a key resource, providing the basis for economic activity from fishing to tourism. As the town has grown and developed, the urban fabric has continued to be anchored around the water. Today, the waterfront is the center of community life, providing space for work and gathering. A new MARINA celebrates the center of Tarpum Bay’s community life. Retrofitted docks extend like welcoming arms, creating a new entrance to Tarpum Bay via the water. A fish market, restaurant and dockside bar increase commerce options for new tourists while a connected promenade and welcome center create community space and facilitate circulation.
