It was a beautiful day to explore, very calm yet cool. We met Jeff and Deb at the beach and headed out the dirt road to the Queen’s Highway. We turned left and headed down the road, watching carefully for the cars that speed down the highway.
We had planned to get to the Queen’s baths just after low tide and arrived just as the tide was starting to come in. The baths are a series of tide pools amidst the rocks. They are mostly enclosed. Waves come over the top as the tide comes in.
After swimming and soaking in the baths, we ventured further up the road where the highway crosses a narrow cut between the Atlantic and the bank that leads to the Exuma Sound. It is called the Glass Window Bridge because it looks like a window upon approach from either side. There used to be an arch there that fell in. The road has also been moved by storms.
On the roadside just south of the bridge is a small blowhole. It is remarkable because it is on the Sound side of the road but definitely connects to the ocean. There are probably many caverns beneath the Queen’s highway.
We ate a bite at the Glass Window bar and grill and then trekked back to the boats. It was about a five mile round trip.
At 5, we once again gathered on the beach and walked to Daddy Joe’s for dinner. The food was really good there. Best restaurant, second only to Xumas. Lifesize cardboard Lenny was there. There was a painting of our cove as well. We returned to boats at sunset.
