A Look at Disney’s Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point
By Rikki
The opening of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is coming up quickly, with the island officially opening to Guests later this month. This breathtaking island is home to Disney Cruise Line’s newest island destination. Let’s take a tour and learn all about this paradise full of incredible natural wonders.
Explore Lighthouse Point
Lighthouse Point is a locally beloved stretch of coastline and rock structures on the southernmost point of Eleuthera. This is where the Atlantic Ocean meets the clear, turquoise waters of The Bahamas. Disney Cruise Line chose this destination to connect Guests from around the world with the vibrant culture of The Bahamas.
Pink Sand Beaches
Guests will find pink sand beaches all over Eleuthera’s shores. The pink color comes from crushed coral and fragments of shells that mix with the island’s soft, white sand.
The Island Is Known For Pineapple Farming
Eleuthera is known for its long history of pineapple farming. Pineapple farming is such an important part of Eleuthera’s history that every year, the island hosts the world-famous Pineapple Festival, bringing visitors and communities together to celebrate the harvest season.
Ocean Hole
Over in Rock Sound, Eleuthera, Guests will find the Ocean Hole, a naturally forming blue hole that Bahamians believe connects to the ocean through 300,000-year-old caves. This area has a higher salt content that makes it more buoyant than sea water. Some locals say this beautiful space also has incredible, natural healing properties! Ocean Hole and Lighthouse Point Beach both share amazing limestone rock structures, another part of the extraordinary terrain on this beautiful island.
Blue Hole is available as one of many opportunities to explore the beauty of Eleuthera in Disney Lookout Cay’s local Eco Tour port adventures.
Cathedral Cave
Not far from Ocean Hole, a natural rock structure called Cathedral Cave has soaring, wide ceilings, cascading tree roots and filtered sunlight. This popular tourist attraction for visitors and Bahamians alike is home to native Bahamian wildlife.
Guests will learn about Bahamian wildlife like this on the beautiful nature trail at Disney Lookout Cay, where they’ll find bronze sculptures of native animals. Plus, Cathedral Cave is also available to visit during Disney Lookout Cay’s port adventures, including the South Eleuthera Eco and Cultural Tour and the South Eleuthera Eco and Historical Tour.
The Glass Window Bridge
One of the most recognizable landmarks in all The Bahamas is on Eleuthera: the Glass Window Bridge. This once natural bridge of land separates the Atlantic Ocean from the stunning, peaceful waters of the Exuma Sound and the 700 islands of the archipelago of The Bahamas. Eleutheran artist Kevin Cooper painted this famous natural wonder, and Guests can find his artwork hung in the cabanas and available for purchase as a lithograph to take home as a souvenir from Disney Lookout Cay.
Eleuthera is an unforgettable destination and the perfect place for Disney Cruise Line’s newest retreat.
