Jacob's Well | Texas Photo Spot
Share this Page
Jacob’s Well is not just another swimming hole; it’s a geological marvel located in Wimberley, Texas. The spring feeds into Cypress Creek and is famous for its crystal-clear water and intricate underwater caves. Above ground, the well appears as a dark, seemingly bottomless hole surrounded by rocky terrain and native vegetation. It’s a must-see for both landscape and underwater photographers. The well’s depth and clarity provide an ethereal backdrop for underwater portraiture and wide-angle shots. But beware, diving into the caves is strictly for certified divers and even then, considered risky. The surrounding park area offers additional photo ops like flora, fauna, and flowing streams, especially during the golden hours. There’s an entrance fee, and reservations are recommended as visitor numbers are limited to protect the ecosystem.
