Sightseeing
One of nature's true wonders, The Glass Window Bridge will certainly leave you breathless as you drink in the magnificent panoramic view. It is one of the few places on earth where you can compare the rich blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean on one side of the road and the calm Bight of Eleuthera (often incorrectly called the Caribbean Sea) on the other side, separated by a strip of rock just 30 feet wide.

Glass Window Bridge
Queen's HighwayOne of nature's true wonders, The Glass Window Bridge will certainly leave you breathless as you drink in the magnificent panoramic view.

The Queen’s Baths or the Hot Tubs, are located 0.6 miles south of the Glass-window Bridge on the rugged Atlantic side of the island. These natural pools (carved by centuries of waves pounding the rock) are filled with dramatic crashing waves, shells, and small sea life that wash over from the Atlantic Ocean. Once settled, this crystal clear water is warmed by the sun, creating a bath like temperature tidal pool that’s perfect for soaking. The best time to visit the hot tubs is during the low or medium tide. When visiting, it is best to wear water or tennis shoes.

This large unique cave is located about two miles east of Gene's Bay. It was discovered by William Sayle and a group of Christians seeking religious freedom from Bermuda, now referred to as "The Eleutheran Adventures."
They were shipwrecked off the Eleuthera coast on a reef called the Devil's Back Bone and took refuge here after coming ashore. They shaped an altar from a large boulder at the far end of the cave, which remarkably still stands, and conducted the island's first religious service there, earning the cave its name.
The site is used by visitors and locals for picnics and other social outings because of the lovely white sandy beach nearby.
ACCESSIBILITY NOTES
The site might not be suitable for someone in a wheelchair, due to the sandy and sometimes overgrown terrain.
