We are asked all the time by visitors to recommend cool places off the beaten path -- places that most tourists don't see.  This is one of those spots.

Admiralty House Park is where, this time of year, daring bathers take a leap off some of Bermuda's natural limestone cliffs.  It always makes for a spectacular sight, captured here by our photographer Kageaki Smith.

Cliff jumping is also quite dangerous, however.  Earlier this month a man was critically injured when he took a cliff jump.

Danger aside, Admiralty House is a beautifully quaint park on Bermuda's north shore in Pembroke, just a few minutes from the busy streets of Hamilton.  The water is incredibly calm when the weather's good and can be the perfect place if you like to hit the water without first having to hit the sand.
