Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is Disney Cruise Line’s latest destination on the beautiful island of Eleuthera, The Bahamas. Disney Lookout Cay has both family and adult-exclusive beaches, offering the perfect blend of unmatched natural beauty and relaxation for every member of your family.
Lighthouse Point is a locally beloved stretch of coastline and rock structures on the southernmost point of Eleuthera, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the clear, turquoise waters of The Bahamas. Disney Cruise Line chose this treasured destination to connect guests from around the world with the vibrant culture of The Bahamas.
Prepare to pose on these pink sand beaches, which you’ll find 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. One of the best places in Eleuthera to see pink sand beaches? Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
All over Disney Lookout Cay, you will find hints of an important part of Eleuthera’s history: the pineapple. Eleuthera is known for its long history of pineapple farming, being one of only a few in all The Bahamas with the distinct red soil. 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. No matter where you have a pineapple in the world, Eleutherans will tell you, there is none sweeter than here on this island!
Over at Rock Sound, Eleuthera, you’ll find the Ocean Hole, a naturally forming blue hole that Bahamians believe connects to the ocean through 300,000-year-old caves. Many Rock Sound residents learned how to swim in this beautiful hole, which 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.
Not far from Ocean Hole is a natural rock structure called Cathedral Cave. It features soaring, wide ceilings, cascading tree roots and glittering filtered sunlight. This popular tourist attraction for visitors and Bahamians alike is home to native Bahamian wildlife. You’ll learn about Bahamian wildlife like this on the beautiful nature trail at Disney Lookout Cay, where you’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.
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 you 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 that celebrates the beauty and culture of The Bahamas.
In addition to all the history of Lookout Cay and Eleuthera, there are plenty of activities for guests of all ages to enjoy while at Lookout Cay.
Rush Out, Gush Out Water Play is a water play area for all ages, and Sebastian’s Cove has several amazing youth activities. Private cabanas are also available for both families and adults to reserve. At Serenity Bay, guests will absolutely love the tranquil views from your very own beach, which has its own barbecue pavilion, Serenity Bay BBQ, and watering hole, Blue Hole Bar.
Guests can also head over to the Nature Trail, where you’ll discover Eleuthera’s beautiful scenery leading to the easternmost end of the island, taking in the incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, bronze sculptures introduce you to indigenous animals, including money bat moths, curly-tailed lizards and land crabs.
Eleuthera also has plenty of wonders beyond Disney Lookout Cay. Port Adventures developed in partnership with local tour operators offer a chance to explore the breathtaking beauty of The Bahamas with private historical and cultural tours, buggy excursions, scuba tours and catamaran sailings.
