The pools are a fantastic picnic spot. They are hewn out of solid rock by the descent of a fresh water stream into the ocean. Try swimming in one of the pools nearer the road. They re larger and situated in a true tropical rain forest, so the overhanging canopy of foliage is quite dense. Pack a lunch and be prepared to spend some time in this pristine park setting.
Overnight camping is available.
