Summer is here, and if you’re like me and my friends, you’re looking for ways to make the most of the warm, sunny days. Living in the Hudson Valley, we’re lucky to have some of the most stunning natural landscapes right in our backyard. But for those of us who crave a bit of adventure, nothing beats the thrill of cliff jumping at White’s Cliff in Beacon, New York.
White’s Cliff has been a popular spot for local teens for over 30 years. It’s a place where you can find different heights to jump from, starting at 25 feet and going up to 85 feet! The thrill of jumping, the cool water, and hanging out with friends make it the perfect summer activity.
For many of us, visiting White Cliffs is a rite of passage. It’s where friendships are solidified through shared leaps of faith and where summer memories are etched into our minds. There’s something about standing on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by friends, that makes you feel alive. It’s the ultimate test of courage and camaraderie, as you cheer each other on and celebrate every successful jump.
Safety is a huge priority. Always check the water depth and look out for any underwater obstacles. Go with friends who have experience, and never jump alone. The local community is pretty supportive, and you’ll often find other groups there, ready to share tips and cheer each other on.
White’s Cliff isn’t just about the adrenaline rush. It’s a place where memories are made. From the nervous laughs before a jump to the triumphant yells after emerging from the water, it’s all about the shared experience. Plus, the view from the top is breathtaking—a perfect blend of nature and thrill.
Beacon and the Hudson Valley have tons to offer. After a day of cliff jumping, check out the hiking trails, swimming holes, and local restaurants in Beacon’s beautiful downtown area.
