Eleuthera Travel Guide

A narrow Bahamian island where the Glass Window Bridge spans two oceans amid pink-sand beaches.

📍 Destination Overview

Eleuthera is the Bahamas' long, narrow island, stretching about 180 km yet only 1 to 3 km wide. Its Glass Window Bridge, a natural arch rebuilt after hurricanes, splits deep-blue Atlantic from turquoise Caribbean banks, a stunning maritime contrast. Pink-sand beaches, sweet pineapples and their June festival, and colonial hamlets preserve the country's most authentic island charm.
