Cut out of slippery lava rock and encrusted with olivine minerals, these incredibly clear pools sit in the midst of roaring surf. Some have natural steps, but if you’re tempted to go in, size it up carefully – people unfamiliar with the water conditions here have been swept into the sea and drowned.
If the rocks are covered in silt from recent storm runoffs, or the waves look high, forget about it – it’s dangerous. Although the baths are on public land, state officials do not recommend accessing them due to the hazardous conditions, including slippery rocks, large and powerful surf, waves crashing over ledges and strong currents.
