Queen's BathQueen's Bath
Queen’s Bath is one of Eleuthera’s most stunning natural features, located 0.6 miles south of the Glass Window Bridge on the Atlantic side. It’s about a 35–40 minute drive from Squire’s Estate. Stop at Daddy Joe’s on the way for great food, drinks, and a fun local vibe. Park along the road and walk in—the terrain is rocky. Follow the path toward the ocean, then down and left to reach the natural pools. The sun-warmed rock formations create crystal-clear, bath-temperature pools perfect for exploring. Important: Queen’s Bath is not safe in bad weather or rough seas. Only visit on calm days, ideally at low or medium tide.
