Glass Window, Eleuthera, Bahamas

The Glass Window is the narrowest point of the Eleuthera island where there is a narrow ledge with a bridge above it creating a window where you can see from the Exuma Sound into the Atlantic Ocean. It's quite an engineering feat and the bridge was washed out in a storm and had to be rebuilt.

Our choice of beach on the banks side or a hike across the island to the Tongue of the Ocean side beach great for beach combing.
