Queen's Bath
This is a wonderful place to visit at low tide. It is a challenge getting down to the baths, but worth the effort. Here are the instructions we had and found the baths very easily. They’re located 0.6-miles south of the Glass Window Bridge, park near the stone entrance gate on the east side of The Queen’s Highway. From the gate, hike along the sandy road towards the Atlantic. Soon you’ll reach the sharp, rocky bluffs that conceal the baths, hike towards the edge of the cliff until you see an access path leading off to the left and down to sea level. Check the tides before you go as the pools can fill up quickly and be fierce at high tide.
