Blow Hole Beach

Amazing blowhole that can be seen from the calm lagoon. Limestone hills hide the Atlantic Ocean and the lagoon seems to be calm – but nevertheless from the cliffs rises a fountain of sea water. This blowhole is created by the wave energy on the other side of the island.

Suplado – “natural jacuzzi” in Curacao

So-called “natural jacuzzi” that in reality is a dangerous place. Waves push powerful splashes through this large, funnel-shaped blowhole. Nevertheless, during calm weather visitors can rest in the warm water around this funnel.

Little Bay blowholes

Limestone terraces at Little Bay, Barbados

A group of small but expressive blowholes along the Little Bay. Here near the sea have formed “swimming pools” – secluded basins of seawater that at calmer weather are safe to swim. Around these swimming pools in some places are small blowholes.

Blow hole near Bluff, Cayman Brac

There are several blowholes in Cayman Brac. The best known is near the Bluff and it sounds as a violently boiling tea kettle. It is slanted and during the wave action blows out wet air and at the very end – a splash.

Devil’s Bridge in Antigua

Several scenic blowholes. In rough weather, the water fountains here may be more than 10 m high. Water has deposited small limestone terraces around the blowhole.

Boka Pistol

Boca Pistol, Curaçao

One of the spectacular bokas or narrow inlets. As the wave reaches it, it shoots the water backward in the air with a great force, resembling a powerful blowhole.

Watamula Hole

Large window – opening down to the sea, located at the northern shore of the island. This is a former blowhole that now for most of the time is too large to create spectacular fountains. During stronger winds and the right direction of the wind, there still are observed nice spouts from Watamula Hole. There are though smaller blowholes to the north-east from Watamula hole and further, around the famous “bokas” of Curaçao (e.g. Boka Kalki), with the limestone terraces that are characteristic for many active blowholes.
