Rock Climbing
Whether you want to climb the large boulders at the base of the Bluff or the more adventurous climbing of the face of the bluff, both are satisfying adventures. Several climbing sites have already been established, and you are welcome to follow
them, or to blaze your own. Either way, the reward at the top is a cooling breeze with a spectacular view of the sapphire blue Caribbean Sea, against a blue topaz sky.

Nature Trails
Historic trails onto the Bluff from the northside road are marked with signage. Some begin with the original steep staircase of steps
which are cut into the rock. With heights from 20-70 feet on top there is a great view of the area
below with the sea beyond. Then turning onto the trail, its basically an easy paced walk, with minimal effort through the terrain of plant life.
The fartherest eastern side, on top of The Bluff, is home to the only lighthouse. There is a scenic walking trail which winds through low vegatation,
with views of the sapphire blue sea from 150 feet above sea level. The Booby Bird nesting grounds can be observed from the trail
which allows walkers to stay at a safe distance from the edge.
On the northside road, along the shoreline where the road ends, is Long Beach. From this area looking up at the cliffs of the Bluff it rises to the 150 foot height. Walking along
the beach area, is over the hard limestone rock with holes that have caught sea water spray. The sun has turned this into pockets of seasalt. At the base of the Bluff you'll see
beautiful flowering vines and vegetation.
