Know before you go

Respect restricted access to the sinkhole floor. Stay back from edges, avoid slippery approaches after rain and follow signs.

Forecasts and community sightings cannot certify safe swimming, water quality, an absence of jellyfish or safe trail access. Follow beach flags, lifeguards and official notices. Inland water can be seasonal; these are not swimming recommendations.
