Blue Hole Park

Visiting

Blue Hole Park's trail starts half hidden among palms on the right of the car park at the western end of the Causeway. It comes out on Dolphin Drive, a narrow coastal lane.

A break in the hedge on the left opens onto a cave hung with stalactites, with ferns on the wet limestone and a deep blue pool inside. Wide steps lead down to the water, which rises and falls with the tide.

The Blue Hole is at the far end of a grassy field over Castle Harbour, emerald green and ringed by red mangrove. From the wooden deck you can see parrotfish and sergeant majors, and now and then a cuttlefish or a barracuda. The jumping points are along narrow red dirt paths to the right of the deck.
