Cathedral Cave

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Beautiful swimming hole located within Grotto Bay resort. Be careful due to slippery stairs and limestone walkway. and remember to not have on sunscreen, makeup or perfumes to preserve the cavern. We went at 5pm on a Saturday and there was no one else in the cave! People often mention cave, Grotto, Bermuda, free, swim,

    Great little (free) side quest but not worth a trip from other parts of the island on its own. If you’re going to Baileys for ice cream, the swizzle inn, or Blue Hole Watersports (which I TOTALLY recommend) it’s definitely worth the quick, very minor detour.

    Gorgeous cave! A hidden pearl in Bermuda, like a secluded wonderland, highly recommended come here enjoy the swim when you're in Bermuda. This cave is in Grotto Bay Beach Resort & Spa property, come here couple time absolutely no people, also it's free! free! absolutely free for resort guests, but well worth to stay here. looking forward to come back again! The Blue hole park and Crystal Cave just few minutes away!

    A cave with a beautiful swimming hole that you can access (technically for free) through the Grotto Bay Hotel grounds. Not 100% sure if external visitors are meant to be able to access... The cave itself is reached via a set of narrow and steep stairs (not too far down though) and it doesn't go too far in. May take your eyes a few moments to adjust to the relative darkness. The cave is nice and cool compared to the heat of Bermuda outside :)

    Cathedral Cave is located on Grotto Bay Resort property. You'll notice that the entire island of Bermuda is a very at your own risk place. So, proceed with caution. Once you park, walk towards the water and stay towards the left. You’ll eventually see a small warning sign, that's the entrance. Walk down the steps and hang out in the cave for a bit. The water can be a bit chilly but go for it, have some fun, take a dip. Blue Hole Water Sports rental is also on the property where you can rent out a boat or set up dives.

    It is an amazing nature gift. To get in, go to the Grotto Bay Hotel and ask for the entrance. Beatuful!

    Back in 1988 when I was stationed at the Naval Air Staation I came here with my friends when there was a nightclub and bar in this cave and it was freaking awesome. Lighting installed all through out including underwater. And dance floor was over the water.

    This was great. First time at Bermuda...and have to say one of the best highlights at the Grotto.

    Cool place to go for a swim at the Grotto Bay Spa and Resort in Bermuda.

    Such a paradise! Worth every moment.

    Go for a swim, not as cold as you might think, especially if you go under water. Brink goggles.

  • 5/5 Darren G. 1 year ago on Google
    A must see…. Our Canadian Guide/Firefighter was extremely well informed and provided an accurate historical perspective with a bunch of fun thrown in. Well Done!!

  • 5/5 c 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing! There was a group of 9 of us who went for a swim and we were completely alone. Can't believe this place is free... it's so stunning.

  • 5/5 Chris Swinney (. 1 year ago on Google
    Not many place left like this that don't have a million people queuing to get access and exorbitant ticket prices. It was peaceful and even quite magical. The swim was something special. Long may it remain (although I get the irony in posting to social media).

    Nice spot

    Cathedral Cave has been closed during our stay and we only chose this hotel to see this Cave. Very disappointing. Best to find out if open before traveling to see it

  • 5/5 Chanee H. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful! The scenery was incredible! Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Francesca S. 1 year ago on Google
    A rare opportunity to swim in an incredible natural cave with stalactites and stalagmites!

  • 5/5 Richie Y. 5 years ago on Google
    Free!!!!!

  • 4/5 Thomas B. 3 years ago on Google
    Well-kept cave in the middle of a resort, but it’s hard to beat at $0

  • 5/5 Peter L. 6 years ago on Google
    Stunning cave, well worth the visit. Nice to go swimming in the pond and exploring in the back. Would highly recommend a visit.

  • 5/5 Edwin P. 5 years ago on Google
    If you come to Bermuda this is a must see place! Bring Snorkeling Equipment and a waterproof flashlight. There is light inside the cave enough not to trip over anything once you go past the entrance, but getting in the water and enjoying its clarity can be enjoyed using a flashlight. Also, take it easy coming down the stairs. It takes some time for your eyes to adjust to the Initial Darkness and hold onto the rope on your LEFT hand side. Also Note: Its Completely Free to visit this cave!!

    Breathtaking views, absolutely worth seeing!! Refreshing and fun to jump in too!
