We enjoyed jumping off the cliffs into the refreshing cool water. There is a ladder for access in/out of the water for those not wanting to jump in. I saw fish, but no turtles. More

We went to Ocean Hole on our last day and we really had fun. It is a little hard to find but just ask the locals. They will guide you there. Bring towels and your sense of adventure. We came home with lots of fun pictures jumping from the cliffs. More

This is a natural place that is so unique. It is a giant hole in the middle of town which is full of water and giant fish you can feed. It connects all the way to the ocean and has a tide within it. Jacques Cousteau and his family have dived in here and investigated the tunnels emanating from it.... More

It is an interesting place to come and spend some time. If you want to go swiming, you can. There is a ladder to help you get out of the water. It is a large hole that is fed by, connected to, the ocean. It is full of fish, that you can feed breas to, if you want. More

When we got to Ocean Hole, I was going to be brave and go in with the fish. The water is DARK and you can see the fish, so I ended up being way too scared to do it!! It wasn't really much to look at, so we fed the fish a bit and then left. Not much to report. More

Just on the south side of Rock Sound, across the street from a church is a National Trust sign that we drove pass a few times before we noticed it. An ocean hole just steps off the main road but it doesn't feel like it. Be careful going through the bush, off the path, because there are some poison wood... More

Take a loaf of bread with you. If you break the slices into small pieces and throw them into the water the fish will congregate like crazy. This is a pretty natural attraction that costs nothing and can entertain young and old alike. More
