    I’ve been here years ago when you could swim. Yesterday it was gated off and the view was nothing. Looked like a series of muddy ponds. And it’s not sacred at all- that’s just a marketing ploy...  more »

    Super awesome view of the ocean and waves hitting the black rocks. Can only access some of the pools now though.

    Amazing. TIP: Bring your reef shoes. Bring your lunch and plan a picnic. Leave early morning and make a day of it. Fill up with gas the night before — not a lot of options out that way. Oh — and bring cash for the fruit stands.

    Beautiful, wonderful, peaceful. How many more -ful's do you need? If you're in the area you're coming here.

    Nice drive to get there

    ultra windy - make sure to secure loose items. the pools were full of foam and didn’t look like there were safe to bathe in. this was during the government shut down so the staff advisory for water safety levels were not on. still, wonderful view and hike down. make sure you don’t accidentally hike to the wrong side (waterfall side) as the signage is not too clear.
