The Glass Window Bridge is one of the most popular attractions in Eleuthera, Bahamas and is often referred to as the "narrowest place on Earth". This manmade bridge took the place of a natural bridge (in the 1940s) that was destroyed in a hurricane and is located north of Gregory Town on the north side of the island. What makes this bridge so amazing is that on one side you will see the dark blue churning Atlantic Ocean and on the other, the bright light turquoise shallow waters of the Caribbean Sea.
If you should decide to visit this spot, use caution and watch for rogue waves (large waves) that occasionally and unexpectedly wash over the bridge washing people and cars into the ocean. The bridge has "moved" over the years during storms and is need of some serious repair. It was nearly washed away in 1999 by Hurricane Floyd.
