Rachel's Bubble Bath

24° 17.0′ N · 76° 31.3′ W

A rock-rimmed tidal pool at the northeast tip of Compass Cay where Exuma Sound swell explodes over a low ledge and pours in as a frothing white waterfall — you sit in the pool and get pummelled by warm seltzer.

Practical

Needs BOTH a rising or high tide AND running swell from the east — flat calm means no bubbles. Dinghy in from the banks side and walk about 5 minutes over the rocks; wear reef shoes. The water mass can genuinely hurt you, so do not sit on the ledge itself in big swell.

Best for

Natural jacuzzi on a rising tide with easterly swell
