Often called a natural wonder, this narrow rock wall connects North Eleuthera with its major towns and plantations to the south.

The Glass Window Bridge on Eleuthera Island is just east of Upper Bogue. You’ll drive over it on your way south to Gregory Town and other southern destinations. In fact, this natural “bridge” is what holds the long and narrow island of Eleuthera together.

These days, Glass Window Bridge is really just a rocky strip of land. The former stone arch (or “window”), created by coastal erosion over the centuries, is long gone. The remaining cliff wall is still known as the Glass Window Bridge today and is the narrowest point of the island.

Just follow the island’s main road to get there. Known as the Queen’s Highway, it is 110 miles (177 kilometers) long. Thanks to the addition of a narrow concrete bridge, it’s usually safe to cross the rocky Glass Window Bridge by car. But if the tide is high on a windy day, you may want to wait until the coast is clear.

As you drive across the Glass Window Bridge make sure to look left and right. On one side you’ll see the deep blue waters of the wild Atlantic Ocean and on the other side the tranquil, turquoise waters of the Bight of Eleuthera. The contrast is mind-boggling, especially when you know that there is only about 30 feet (9 meters) of land separating the two.

There are restaurants at either end of the Glass Window Bridge and plenty of idyllic beaches nearby. You’ll also need your swimwear if you want to visit the nearby Queen's Baths. These permanent rock pools on the Atlantic side warm up nicely at low tide. That’s why the locals call them “hot pools,” despite the lack of thermal springs. Be aware that it can be dangerous to bathe here when the surf is up. When a rogue wave crashes over the rocks, your comfy warm bath may become a dangerous whirlpool due to the sharp barnacles around its edges.

When heading farther south, make sure you stop at Governor’s Harbour. This bigger town has a range of bars, bakeries, seafood restaurants and coffee shops. Tippy’s Bar at the nearby pineapple fields is a real icon. The nearby Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve is fascinating to tour as well.
