Rachel's Bubble Bath

A natural rock tidal pool at the northern tip of Compass Cay, where ocean waves wash over the rocky barrier and fill the pool with foam.

Rachel's Bubble Bath is located at the northern tip of Compass Cay. A low ridge of rock separates the open sea from a calm tidal pool. At high tide, waves from the Atlantic side wash over the rocks and pour into the pool, churning up white foam that resembles a natural jacuzzi. The water is shallow and warm, and you can sit in the pool and feel the waves crash over you. You need to go ashore by boat and then walk a short distance. The bubbling effect is weaker at low tide or when the sea is calm. Be careful, as the rocks are sharp, and wear non-slip shoes.
