Blue Hole Park

"Bermuda’s west end might be home to some of its most beloved beaches , but its east end boasts some of the island's most pristine green spaces. Next door to the Walsingham Nature Preserve, and just around the corner from Grotto Bay Beach Resort, is the Blue Hole Park, named for the blue hole at its center—a 12-acre destination for swimming, cliff-jumping, and cave exploring. (The swimming hole itself, framed by mangroves and teeming with bright fish, is your final destination.) Entry to Blue Hole is free, and because it’s relatively secluded, it tends to be frequented mostly by locals." - Katherine Cusumano

"So, can you tell us a little about this place? Bermuda’s west end might be home to some of its most beloved beaches , but its east end boasts some of the island's most pristine green spaces. Next door to the Walsingham Nature Preserve, and just around the corner from Grotto Bay Beach Resort, is the Blue Hole Park, named for the blue hole at its center—a 12-acre destination for swimming, cliff-jumping, and cave exploring. Speaking of exploring—what should we check out? The swimming hole itself, framed by mangroves and teeming with bright fish, is your final destination. There’s also a small nearby beach that can occasionally get crowded. How easy is it to find? As you head toward the Causeway from the west, Blue Hole is located just off the last right turn before the bridge—a left, if you’re coming from the airport or St. George’s. The only challenge is finding it in the first place—once you’re there, you’re there. All said and done, what—and who—is this best for? Entry to Blue Hole is free, and because it’s relatively secluded, it tends to be frequented mostly by locals. If, somehow, you’re suffering from beach fatigue, Blue Hole should be your next swimming destination." - Katherine Cusumano
