Must-See Queen's Bath...
Natural Atlantic Side Pools
We always like to visit the awesome geological structure Queen's Bath in northern central Eleuthera.
These natural pools on the Atlantic side of Eleuthera are located 0.6 miles (1 km) south of the famous - and in rough weather dangerous - Glass Window Bridge.To find Queen's Bath easily, I have included a picture of the entrance gate and an aerial map at the bottom of this page. If the sea is calm, enjoy a dip during low to medium tide. But do not go down to sea level at high tide. I recommend you consult this updated Atlantic side tide chart before you go. And...
The pools are a bit hidden and to the left of the white waves above.
When the sea is rough do not go in. You could get washed away. However you may want to watch from above, the power of huge waves crashing against the rocky island shore. Spectacular!
From the entrance gate to Queen's Bath, walk less than 5 minutes over pretty sharp rock to get this view. It's a good idea to wear Crocs, the plastic shoes that are ideal for all your island excursions.
Particularly when it's hot and the sea is calm, it feels great to have a natural bath tub all to yourself.
The shape of the pools keep changing. That's why I have included pictures taken at different times of day and year.
