Waterparks & Other Places to Cool Off
Blue Hole
Not exactly a pool but still a great place to cool off is the hidden gem known as Blue Hole. Just a short 90 minutes away, Blue Hole is one of seven sister lakes connected underground by a vast system of water. Although it may be cold, swimming in the blue water of this 82 feet deep lake is an amazing experience. Jump or dive off the rocks if you’re feeling extra adventurous.
