Admiralty House
This park, just West of Hamilton, is one of the most popular places to go cliff jumping in Bermuda. At Admiralty House, you find find numerous cliffs of varying heights for cliff jumpers of any experience level. To get to the cliffs you just have to walk down the path from the parking lot, chances are you will see children jumping off the cliffs directly in front of you. The main cliff is straight ahead, but if that seems too challenging, you can go down on the rocks to the left and jump from there. To get back from the water there is a cave between the two cliffs where you can climb back up to land. If others in your group are not looking for the thrill of cliff jumping there is a cove with a beach at the bottom of the path to the right.
Blue Hole Park
Located near the airport, there is a lagoon in which Blue Hole Park is named after that offers a cliff jumping experience like no other. Coming from the parking lot near the causeway, all you have to do is follow the path until it veers left and you will be at the blue lagoon. There is a viewing platform for you to take in the stunning beauty that you can also jump from. To get to the cliffs, follow the path to the right of the platform where you will see the first 2 cliffs. If you are looking for something more challenging you can follow the trail further and manoeuvre your way towards the highest cliff that faces directly across from the viewing platform.
Tobacco Bay
Tobacco Bay is one of the most popular beaches in the East end of the island due to the available amenities. You can rent chairs to lounge on, have lunch at the cafe or grab a drink at the bar. This shallow bay is perfect for kids and a great spot for snorkelling if you venture out of the bay. However, if you are looking for something more exciting, there are a few cliffs you can jump off. The safest and most recommended cliff is at the end of the bay; you will have to swim out there and climb the rocks in order to jump. There is another cliff to the right of the bay to swim to, but that is only recommended to do at high tide.
While cliff jumping is considered dangerous, these spots are at safest places to go cliff jumping in Bermuda. You will often find other people cliff jumping at these locations which is a testament to that. We do not recommend attempting to cliff dive at any other locations on the island.
