Cave Point Sights and Things to Do
Within the peninsula’s 19 county parks, Cave Point is the most breathtaking. Our guide on what to do is below.
Can you Swim at Cave Point County Park?
Yes, as long as it’s calm, you can swim at Cave Point County Park. There are only a few spots to get in and out of the water, so make sure you have some athletic ability before you jump in. And make sure you don’t cliff jump before checking out the depth. You won’t really be able to experience or see the caves from the land, but you will be able to see Devil’s Bathtub(nicknamed by one of our past kayak guides). There are plenty of caves under the water too, but those are best left to the scuba divers and snorkelers. The dolomite rock has been eaten away by waves for many years and when the water is rough, this is a great place to get photos of the water splashing up against the limestone and launching into the air. Just be careful, each year, cave point county park claims lives; Marines, photographers, even kayakers. Just another reason to go with the extra safety of a guide on a 2 hour kayak tour or a half day kayak tour.
