Grottoes and Hot Tubs

Bodies of Water, Eleuthera Island


Fodor's Review:

If you're too lulled by the ebb and flow of lapping waves and prefer your shores crashing with dramatic white sprays, perhaps a visit to Eleuthera's Grottoes and Hot Tubs will revive you. The sun warms these tidal pools -- which the locals call "moon pools" -- making them a markedly more temperate soak than the sometimes-chilly ocean. On most days, refreshing sprays and rivulets tumble into the tubs, but on some it can turn dangerous; if the waves are crashing over the top of the cove's centerpiece mesa, pick another day to stop here. If you're driving from Gregory Town, the entrance is approximately 5 mi north on the right (Atlantic) side of the Queen's Highway, across the road from two thin tree stumps. If you reach the one-lane Glass Window Bridge, you've gone too far.
