Sightseeing

Harbour Island and Spanish Wells - Eleuthera's two neighboring islands are both reached by water taxi from the island's ferry docks in the north.  Both islands require rental of a golf cart to get around.  Harbour Island has lots to do while Spanish Wells has very little.

Glass Window Bridge - the bridge connects two parts of Eleuthera that were broken apart during a storm.  It is a very photogenic spot due to the contrasting waters on both sides of the island.  The west is a glowing aqua while the east is deep blue.  Those two bodies of water seem to collide under the bridge.

The Queen's Baths - this natural formation just south of Glass Window is a natural set of rock pools that collect water.  You can climb down and sit in the warm water and experience a true natural hot tub.

The Cow and The Bull - a pair of large boulders just off of Queen's Highway south of Glass Window that resemble their namesake.

The Cliffs - located in Rainbow Bay, this heritage site provides dramatic views, rocky hiking, natural water pools, and cliff jumping.

Hayne's Library - built in 1897 and lovingly preserved, the library is beautiful both inside and out with fantastic views of Cupid's Cay and Anchor Bay.

Leon Levy Preserve - is the first national park on the island of Eleuthera. It is an environmental educational center as well as a facility for the propagation of native plants and trees. 

James Cistern Ocean Hole - said to be how the settlement got it's name this ocean hole is quite brackish and a bit polluted.  It served the naval facility as a drinking supply and the equipment used to gather its water still remains.

Boiling Hole - located just south of Rock Sound on the side of Queen's Highway sits this interesting ocean hole lined with small caves.  It is interesting to explore the area and the nearby Spider Caves.
