Glass Window and the north Eleuthera coast

Why go

This short coastal route suits travelers already on north Eleuthera who want striking scenery without trying to cover the whole island. Glass Window Bridge frames the meeting of two very different blues; nearby Queen’s Bath brings you close to the rocky shoreline. Finish at Gaulding Cay Beach, where the pace can slow into a longer seaside break. The stops are geographically close, though the roadside and shore need care on foot. Keep well back from waves at Queen’s Bath and treat the pools as a viewpoint when seas are rough. Plan this for settled conditions and let the beach, rather than extra driving, fill the rest of the day.
