Blue Hole Park & Walsingham Nature Reserve

Top choice in Bermuda


Tom Moore's Jungle, part of the nature reserve that comprises coastal mangroves, native palmetto and cedar woods, caves and swimming grottos, is found behind Tom Moore's Tavern. A path leads to a cave with a deep natural swimming pool inside – a great place to cool down. From here, a woodland trail leads to Blue Hole Park, a former dolphin show lagoon framed by mangroves; most days, you'll find people jumping off the 12ft to 15ft cliffs there.
