the music at the Marketplace Square.
Dean’s Blue Hole
A 202 metre vertical sinkhole with an
entrance beneath the surface of the
water, Dean’s Blue Hole is the deepest in
the world. Whether you choose to swim
(competent swimmers only), snorkel or
dive, you will undoubtedly appreciate
the spectacular beauty of this mysterious
blue hole and its powdery-white sandy
beach. Free-diving competitions are
usually held in this location and a world
record was set right here in 2007. This is
indeed a fascinating place and well worth
a visit.

Garden of the Groves
A beautiful little chapel, a spiritual labryinth,
lush vegetation, waterfalls, plants, flowers,
birds, butterflies . . . peaceful and soothing.
Twelve acres of natural beauty offers the
perfect setting in which you can re-connect
with nature. Then, there’s the petting zoo
and playground for the kids. But that’s not
all - enjoy a meal at the cafe and purchase a
souvenir from the shop before you depart. A
must-visit!
