Hatchet Bay, Eleuthera, Bahamas

Heading south through Current Cut we passed by the Glass Window at the narrow part of Eleuthera Island on the way down to Hatchet Bay. There is a narrow entrance cut into the rock leading into a well protected harbour with the settlement Alice Town nearby.

The view through the narrow cut into the harbour from where we are anchored

Fuel tanker at government dock
Squeezing out the cut at high tide



Steep climb up and over to the beach
Great sea glass hunting up the beach

Beachcombing down the beach we found some drift wood
Sunshine yellow blooms along Queen's Highway
A perfect rock bench to enjoy the wave action

The other beach comers out
End of the beach and time to hit the road we spotted on google maps satellite view
The road back with native mother-in-law tongue plants lining the path
Miami Vice: coconut, strawberry and rum--YUM!

Startled two cows grazing in the bush

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.
