Discovering Eleuthera: Your Ultimate Bahamas Escape

• Glass Window Bridge — This unique spot allows you to see the stark difference between the light crystal blue waters of the Caribbean and the deep blue waters of the Atlantic clearly. Drive across (when open!) or take a stop at the many lookouts before and after.

• Rainbow Bay Beach - An easy to access beach with shallow turquoise blue water to explore! Keep an eye out for stingrays, as this beach is noted to have a colony that likes to hang out in these warm, shallow waters.

• Twin Coves Beach — Off-the-beaten-path beach that has soft waves, protected by the tide pools that sit at the corners. Low tide allows for great walks gathering shells. This almost deserted beach is worth the adventure to get out there!

• Sapphire Blue Hole — At the northern most area of Eleuthera, this freshwater hole was formed by the collapse of a limestone cavern. This is a popular spot to swim and snorkel. It also has convenient parking close by which is not always the case on the island.

• Fishing Excursions — A number of fishing companies exist along Eleuthera's long stretch of island. Find an excursion group near your area on the island and explore the beautiful (and plentiful!) Caribbean waters.

• Pineapple Farm — North of Alicetown, you can find Eleuthera Pineapple Farm Tours right off Queen's Highway. Explore the pineapple fields while learning the history of pineapple farming in Eleuthera and the traditional farming methods that are still in use today. After exploring, shop for fresh pineapples and other locally grown produce.

• Water Sports — On the Atlantic side of the island, beaches such as Surfer's Beach or Hatchet Bay are great for active water sports such as surfing and kiteboarding. You can take advantage of the calmer waters on the Caribbean side to kayak or paddleboard at the numerous shops and hotels that offer rentals.

• Snorkeling & Diving — Numerous sites, including Current Cut and Devil's Backbone, are great for exploring the crystal-clear waters, coral reefs, underwater caves and the incredibly colorful marine life.

Day Trips:

Spanish Wells & Dunmore Town are a very short ferry ride away on the west and east side, respectively, of North Eleuthera. Spanish Wells has its own pig beach that, if you're lucky, you can catch sea turtles that also frequent the same waters! Dunmore Town is a quaint, no car island that has some of the world's best Pink Sands Beach.
