More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from a shaded lane into a bowl of limestone where water rises cold and clear, daring you to leave the warm daylight behind. The Blue Hole mineral spring sits under a cavernous Karst opening—its upwelling filtered by ancient limestone so the pool feels almost clinical in its purity. Later, the western cliffs at Rick's Cafe throw the sun into a flat, molten plane and invite the bold to leap into the Caribbean.
