Ninety seconds on Admiralty House Park
Quiet midweek in term time, this cove gives you a lagoon off the sand, shaded paths and a rock stair from the Admiral's Cave into open water, a short bus ride from Hamilton.
A short, winding path drops from the main gate through woodland to the twin beaches of Clarence Cove. The water runs from shallow to deep, with a lagoon off the sand and a dock that local children dive from.
The Admiral's Cave is two minutes north-west along a rocky path. Inside, a stairway cut into the rock runs down to the open sea: cliff jumpers use it to climb back out, and it is the easiest way into the water from this side. Check the water under any ledge before you jump.
Deep Bay, ten minutes' walk east through the park, is the second swim. Bring water and food from the city.
