Visitors can relax and enjoy the sensation of being tossed around in nature's own jacuzzi. Be mindful of the power of the ocean and heed posted warnings about rip tides and slippery rocks.The adventure begins with a scenic hike from Foxy's Taboo, a popular family-owned bar and restaurant.

Water shoes are recommended for navigating the rocky terrain.
